This brings me back to a suggestion I made - I think I called it
"a Gang of people".  The idea was/is to gang-up on a single project at
a time to get it past a particular milestone.  Seems like Fedora has
semi-proven that that might be a decent idea (maybe :-).  The thought
was to get all "floating" translators to concentrate on one project at
a time before all moving on en-mass to something else.  Alas, just thought
I'd mention it in case it makes more logical sense now.

A couple things to keep in mind.  Common_terms.po is a collection
of all the repeated terms in the various project .PO files.  They
are usually very computer-centric and "technical".  Wordlist, on
the other hand, is very general and generic.  Wordlist might contain
terms related to medicine or construction or astronomy which I highly
doubt would be the correct context in the various project .po files
and vice-versa.
