Pat Costello & co. (when they were the GNOME docs guys at Sun) always
used to advocate that a core team of docs writers ought to review every
user visible string that made it into GNOME, in much the same way as we
tried to review every UI before major releases at one point.  Massive
amount of not-very-interesting work, of course, but it could probably
make a great difference to the perceived quality of our desktop.

Cheeri,
