Nice read, though!

I like the Project-Id-Version idea.

poEdit has an icon for fuzzy translations. My suggestion is to display
it in the msgid-msgstr row, similar to email clients. IMO Untranslated
messages don't need icons (just look at the msgstr field).

I believe it's important that _any_ navigation can be done with the
keyboard. The current GUI is very interesting, but I can't find out how
to navigate all that tabs without using the mouse.

As a sort of beta tester, I agree. (what is trunk being used for?)

My personal list is irrelevant right now, but after bringing the code to
trunk and releasing an alpha I'll have some feature requests.

Thank you guys!
