I've posted about that in the "Titles project" thread.

That would be great. However, I think we should approach Bram
first, and try to warm him up to post some encouragement as a
reply to your announcement. I've found him approachable in the
past, although you would want to get straight to the point.

I wonder if I should leave a master list of titles, like at:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/User:JohnBeckett/Titles_project

You can use http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Allpages
but maybe you would like a static page? I could email you the
wikitext when page renaming is finished.

It would be better to start with a modest goal, and achieve it.
I suppose you might get 50 done in a month, mainly with the
efforts of our small membership.

Good. It might be useful to give us a couple of days to review
your wiki page before posting. I think you would need to post
weekly follow ups. Or maybe make the request in some way that
invites people to reply with what they have found.
