In fansubbing, almost every single task can be learned fairly easily (well, perhaps not editing for those who can't speak English), and yet there'll always be a limiting factor in the translators. Everything else is limited to technical resources and the desire to contribute/learn how to contribute, but the supply of those are nearly endless, perhaps even in excess at this stage. And yet for all the groups and people, there are only a few translators, and even fewer who stay on and either finish a series or do multiple series. Strange thought.
