When I'm translating the document I do see a lot of places that need
to be fixed or modified, but after I have translated them I'm tired of
go back and create a patch, because there are more in the translated
work. I think I need some push, :p

Talking about users, readers, "users don't read." and they are more
interested in finishing their works insteaded of commit bugs. Part of
the reason that I do translations is because I want to be more
familiar with the documents. If I just "read" them, I can easily
ignore any thing important, and I won't do carefully reviews or
spellchecks at all. In fact I'm not a good student :)

I think there should be another group called re-viewers or so. When I
have posted my translation, I have to require (or force) my best
friend Storm Lee to do the reviews. I don't expect to receive any
review idea from the others. Readers may not have spare time to do
reviews or don't want to bother to commit bugs, who knows.
