Rajko its worse than that.

SuSE documentation sources are not in a revision control repo despite the fact 
that such a repo was setup. As such there is a barrier to entry for open 
collaboration and contribution on documentation sources.

Once SuSE documentataion process embraces the open source workflow and 
provides the infrustructure to support it, then the collective eye and brain 
of the community can assist the doc team who at this point are just 
developing in a hole.

To fix the problems you mention in a manner that is sustainable, we need to 
address the above first. Then community and doc-team can move forward 
together and discuss how this is going to work and what we can do to address 
problems, make life easier.

Translators need input also and implimentation of the pot/po file format 
generated from Docbook XML and places in a batch environment using diff etc 
can help to reduce the workload.

Hope this helps,
