For a brand new document, I don't see the need to make it go live immediately, anyway. Give the i18n squad a few days to go over it and understand what's in it. I plan to do this with a "How to post to the mailing lists" document that's in my queue. On the other hand, I agree that it can't be delayed indefinitely.
Also, if people are doing some iteration over the content before putting it up, then why not throw -i18n into the mix? I know very well that having multiple people work on a document slows the process down, but I'd consider the i18n people to be silent readers: they'd look at intermediate drafts and start on the translation against those, but not necessarily comment back on the content until the finished product comes out.
For urgent matters, I think that we've got to make the English portion go live, and let the translation teams catch up.

welcome it, if you _could_ send changes to the fink-i18n list _prior_
We need to set this up so that the people who are working on fink itself
are given motivation to document things they are doing. If adding to
the documentation is going to mean having a discussion about it on the
fink-i18n list, then I'm afraid it will just be easier to not document
things. That would be bad.
Speaking for myself, I'm not subscribed to the fink-i18n list and I don't
plan to subscribe. I'll be happy to respond to questions about what things
mean, if I've recently added them to the documentation.
