After making Paul fix up everything I unnecessarily changed, I've
stopped touching content, especially when the last edit was an
"editorial pass". I try to only touch when someone has added something
new, which did not appear in the F8 release notes
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f8/en_US/

As well, looking at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Schedule
it doesn't look like translators have much time :(

Cheers,

Murray.
