We will soon be gearing up to collect data in the CLDR Survey Tool.  <http://unicode.org/cldr/apps/survey?_=mt> - this affects a lot of open source, and some closed source, data. (the data itself is all open).  Perhaps it would be useful to set up a single page with translation opportunities, and try to do some sort of concerted solicitation for volunteers.  I have been trying to get involvement from the academic/linguistic community as well, might be able to cross-promote among the [kelmet] list and wikipedia folks.  

  I would be glad to host a list of translation opportunities, or link to a linux specific page of them.

  What do you think?
