Christian,

My proposal is in relation to new people who now nothing about CVS, but 
want to start translating. In the status web page it is not specially 
clear how to download the set of files to your computer (you can do it 
one-by-one once you figure it out). A helpful answer to this question 
yesterday was a script... but many people who are starting localization 
do not know what to do with such a script.

A simple compressed file with all the po files of the en_US or en_GB 
translation of 2.6 could save newcomers a lot of time (and people in the 
list a lot of explanations). I don't know how this would integrate later 
with the status pages, though.
