I didn't said exactly that or didn't formulate it clearly. What I mean is that if you work on another section, you should make the team (and the i18n community behind) that you are doing modification on their pages. I understand your point on simplifying the language for the user, but we also want contributors. For that we need to simplify the entries, but also to educate them to our vocabulary, the roles in the community and the workflows. For me hiding everything behind a general wording is not the way to educate people or we should manage a step where he get the knowledge of how things are working in the community and feel include in that process. It's also, most of the time, picking his interest because he has known something of how it works at the end of the day.

I can't imagine that somebody willing to help with QA, l10, whatever will go under the documentation project for this (and most of other production os project are organized the same). There is already the BSA for the user who just want to fill a bug. If he wants to go further and speaks English, he will go on the QA project pages and will try to learn more about it, after either on the list or irc. The best, in my personal opinion, would be that the documentation project redesign the home page of the wiki whit the marketing list and the projects list to make it contributor friendly.
