Actually, I do see one way I could leverage that.  There is an additional 
resource currently exposed that isn't in the docs.  If you hit this URL :
http://www.incantations.net:8080/translate/jobs/ it will give you an ATOM 1.0
feed of all the completed jobs.  Then naturally jobs/en would give you all the
english -> something else jobs, jobs/en/ru could give you feed of the english ->
russian jobs, etc.

This begs the question though, are these list resources really all that useful?
Should it even be exposed? I might certainly want to lockdown those feed urls
with some authentication for privacy concerns.  If I do that, the only people
who could view the feeds would be admins (which is only me) and I don't have
much use for that information that I can think of.  Somebody else might think of
a good reason why, and i do plan to publish the restlet source if someone else
wants to run the service on their own hardware for w/e reason.
