There has been a lot of argument on that subject over last few months, and  
it got heated up as we were closing to FC6 realese. Looks like it is not  
so simple, and it is not centralized, nor announced (each module's  
maintainer has to update each language's PO manualy; there is no single  
person with duty to preform this task regulary on all modules and  
languages; module maintainer is NOT announcing new lines regulary on THIS  
mailing list)(this are my assumptions, correct me if I am wrong).

Looks to me that simplest, cheapest and fastest solution would be adding a  
"fake language" into i18n list, that would simply show up the state of  
POT's, not PO's.

This "fake language" should be on top of the list, there should be  
possibility to click on it (like on any of ours languages) so we could  
check each POT.

Later on, few more feature could be added:
- when you click on module, instead of translator link, there should be  
direct link to view POT (like web-cvs)
- name/link of module maintainer/developer (programmer dude), in case we  
need to contact that person and yank him/her with stuff like "gimmie  
plural" ;)

Just to SEE the POT's would be such an improvement.

I hope somebody could do something like that. I am not a programming guru,  
but it looks like a simple thing to do, just like adding a new language,  
but instead of being a language that will display state of PO's, we will  
have state of POT's!
