Is it possible for the translators (at least the more trusted ones) to
have user accounts on drupal so they can update their translated text
directly? The user accounts on drupal appear to be pretty weak. I
created a satoshi account and it can't even edit the side bar stuff,
just the main text of pages. I don't think user accounts can access any
of the admin stuff. Do you think it's safe, or do you feel insecure
about doing that? If you're worried, maybe there's a way to lock just
the english version of the homepage.
It would be nice if when I need to make changes to the homepage, I could
enlist someone like Xunie to do the rote work of reflecting it to all
the translations instead of having to do all that work myself. (many
light changes don't require understanding the language to fix the
translated pages)

Yes, we could give accounts to trusted translators. I haven't found a
way to give them edit permissions to only one page, but they can be
forced to create a new revision with every page change they make, and
not be allowed to delete revisions. Xunie would be the first on the
list I'd give an account. :)
