Because I'm a bad person and should be taken to task over it?  I
always mean to go back and fix it, but I keep on getting dragged into
working on other things.

Keep a piece of paper next to your computer.  I have two sheets of
lilypond material; I cross of items as I get to them.  When one sheet
is about 80% full, I copy any remaining items on to a new piece of
paper.

Hmm.  The info on that page doesn't need to be in the info and pdf,
right?  If that's true, then it could just be an offhanging html file
like the current translations.html.in.  (with the link from the
footer, as in the old webpage)

I'm not opposed to adding more text to that node.
