The topic seams clear: how to speed up (and, so, make PR easier). If I
understood you well, you propose to not change anything.

You said:

> And if those issues are not fixed before release

This is based in case of a release, what if we can't release the
documentation before, let's say, one year? Why do we need to think to
translator if we can't make a new release?

Second, if we can make minor release of QGIs, why we can't do it for
Documentation? Why can't we based the workflow on "release early,
release often" princips? Translator will update a few string after each
release, and so? Transifex allow to find previous translation from
similar string, we won't change all the documentation, just some string.
That's not seem a big work.

I do still think that higher(st) quality is counter productive and I
think (but not hope) that in few months we won't increase the number of
contributor (rather decrease it).

I am open to new propositions but not to let this process as it
currently is.

Y.
