I think it is very important that we keep the whips cracking over those 
translators.  Perhaps when signing up to rosetta, we could send out a 
remotely operated thumbscrew, just in case some translators weren't 
giving it their all (in the sole opinion of the judges of course).

But then speaking as someone who will package up the translations, I'm 
just going to combine those lists and sort them either alphabetically or 
maybe sometimes in spiffy random order, depending on my lava-light 
random number generator, which has yet to fail me so far (unlike that so 
called lucky-8 ball).

So to anyone out there looking to translate a few strings -- come 
translate my app, and I'll make sure your name isn't deleted from the 
contributors' list.  And none of the other kids will get little stars or 
happy faces next to their names for translating more or more often!  
Because really, was kindergarten really that much fun?  (Disclaimer:

kindergarten conditions or any direct measure of the 'fun' contained 
therein).
