This was wht i said in my post in this thread earlier today and this
was the taget i signed myself on Responsabilities page
(http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Matt/WordPress_Responsibilities),
caring paarticualary about the fact that plugins nd themesborn
internationalized, and locales .mo files for plugins and maybe for the
docs attached (readme etc) get translated by the team that already
does for WP.

I think you idea it's really good, taking more care for plugin in
wp-plugins.org (and theme too) means to give those plugins a sort of
"WP Quality Ribbon". If you wanna sign me as one of volunteer i'll be
happy to help in this.
