Excellent idea. My wife is keen to support the translation into Spanish (so teachers in Argentina can benefit from WE) but wants it in manageable chucnks. This job jar would suit her need well, as bits must be done while our young son sleeps. I am sure many other members would be in a similar situation "Able to contribute in manageable chuncks"
This could also work for the OERNZ work where I foresee donators of resources teaming up with polishes to get the resource to a higher quality. Paul.
