That page tells you what people actually read. I think it's more
important to translate pages what people actually read, than stable, but
not interesting pages.

Unfortunately some unexpected changes are needed time to time. Updates
according to status of the software and so on.

If you look at the "recent changes" (available in "Special pages" link
on the left) http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Special:Recentchanges you
will see, that there are A LOT of changes every day.

If you translate something, you will need to keep updating it. :-(
(Anyway, I've seen a lot of translated and outdated pages!)

This number of changes will also mean, that those "most important" pages
are also frequently changing.

To be honest, the current solution - having a small set of translations
INSIDE a large English site - looks strange to me. If I wanted to
translate to Hungarian, I could easily build a much smaller site with
the most important information, and expand it on demand.

If there is a small set of pages, it may not fit well in the same
structure like all available articles require.
