Interesting initiative. I hope you guys have a fun weekend. I'm of
course wondering how this relates to other glossary projects, existing
and not.
There's http://g11nportal.sun.com/sungloss/ for one,
http://www.mozillafirefox.ir/translation/glossary.html seems to be more
firefox centric.
I'm pretty sure that there are other glossary projects out there, which
might benefit from collaboration.
I would be really interested to see at least the list of English terms
to be freely licensed so that other projects can build upon that or
merge it in.
Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend
Axel

Thanks!
Problem of inconsistency and lack of standardization is a very big problem at least for Indic locale. For example, for a simple word 'save', people used to translate in 3-4 ways. So it is making whole desktop 'difficult' for users. Fuel can be a move towards solving the problem among indic languages.
Don't worry about license at all. It will be freely licensed only.
regards,
Rajesh
