Although I'm not well known here, I'll risk agreeing with Javier in
the context issue leading to worse translations. That is an issue that
must be be avoided.

When I started translating software, I worked with the hipergate.org
guys, and they had built a nice wiki-style translation insterface for
what would be the typical po translating work.
That kind of interface could lead to faster and (why not) better
translations, because everyone can contribute using very small
fractions of time. But maybe only to po-style and limited codesets...
I'm not sure how this multi-codeset, RTL/LTR stuff would look in a web
browser.
