1)  we put up a Google Docs spreadsheet for each language showing
 * context
 * English as it is now
 * current translation (if any)
 * new translation
 * datestamp and initials (so we can give credit)
  we use colours to indicate priority areas and so on
2) we tell TEI-L about this, and ask them to fill in what they can
3) we back this up once a day
4) we write a script to update the sources from the spreadsheet

would that work?

I did have scripts which did this, but it was a while ago. not impossibly
hard
