Ok. Thanks. Good point.

To be honest, I thought this community-team list was also handling the 
translation issues. I was not aware of a qgis-tr list :-( .

In my opinion, pointing people to this list(s) is a (technical) bridge 
to far for most translators. I think the first contact should be with 
the translation maintainer, which of course should be subscribed himself 
  (eg I forward certain emails to all dutch translators directly).

Current infrastructure is in flow, but I would not discourage new 
'recruits' to start with just translating a single po file or so :-)

Regarding flags: I was thinking of some standard message in the website 
which says something like: "he, is this page not translated? What about 
translating it yourself" with a link to translation instructions or 
translate.qgis.org
Besides this we can make a link to translate.google.org (like gislab has 
for certain pages: http://gis-lab.info/qa/qgis-georef-new-eng.html). 
This works pretty well I think.

ps I will subscribe on qgis_tr now...
