20:21 cpunkpunk how is the development of this tool going?
20:21 cpunkpunk sorry yes END :)
20:21 st3 isn't it?
20:21 luna whats the topics
20:21 cpunkpunk consenso/agree
20:21 st3 cpunkpunk: zope is a tool, written in perl
20:21 linksrhein topic proposals were http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/TranslationIrcMeeting1
20:22 linksrhein st3: in python
20:22 st3 yep
20:22 st3 oh sorry :D
20:22 luna thanks
20:22 st3 cpunkpunk: you can see it in action at translations.indymedia.org
20:23 cpunkpunk it's a human translation engine i guess... and not some automated bablefish crap right?
20:23 linksrhein correct
20:23 luna first collaboration: how can we all use and help in the work with the tool?
20:23 st3 no, la prima che hai detto :)
20:23 cpunkpunk k
20:23 ab-tired hey I am also here
20:23 ab-tired very sleepy though
20:23 luna hi
20:23 linksrhein :)
20:23 st3 ab-tired take some guarana
20:24 st3 :)
20:24 ab-tired Anarchobabe from ImcScotland/ImcUK
20:24 cpunkpunk ab-tired: u in london? maybe?
20:24 ab-tired translating engl/german german/engl
20:24 ab-tired Edinburgh :-)
20:25 cpunkpunk anyway so ppl post their article that wanna have translated, stating into which language they do want it and who ever is available would book it to do? am i right?
20:25 ab-tired and understand a bit of french, therefor guess a bit of spanish/italian occassionally ;-)
20:25 cpunkpunk ab-tired: good good
20:25 ab-tired end
20:25 st3 cpunkpunk smtg like that
20:26 st3 but i'd propose some extra ftr
20:26 st3 s
20:26 cpunkpunk propose or develop? :)
20:26 luna what?
20:27 cpunkpunk question: r we gonna coordinate ea by ML or something?
20:28 linksrhein ML?
20:28 cpunkpunk cause i dunno yet how the all thing is set up but i guess it would be cool to recive emails when a translation is needed and when somebody is gonna do it
20:28 cpunkpunk ML = mailing list
20:28 st3 cpunkpunk maybe both
20:29 linksrhein for all the features see: http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/TranslationTool
20:29 linksrhein email notification is possible
20:29 st3 linksrhein: were you managing to use translations@lists.indymedia.org wasn't it?
20:29 luna actually there is such a thing. but the last days i didn't received such mails anymore. but it is very silent anyway.
20:30 linksrhein st3: yes, for management, not for thr translation work itself
20:30 linksrhein luna: the reason is ...
20:31 cpunkpunk well maybe a majordomo ftr could post email w/ articles to who is available to translate it into that language from that language
20:31 linksrhein i tried to repair the header of the mails
20:31 linksrhein and switched it off for a while
20:32 cpunkpunk once an article is posted i meant.. or r we all supposed to check it online?
20:32 luna i check it online regularly
20:32 cpunkpunk i c
20:33 linksrhein it should be possible to send notifications to different lists, depending on language/topic criteria maybe
20:33 luna but if you click to "to do" then you have all the work listed there and pick up what you want and if you want
20:34 linksrhein further: there are some rss-feeds
20:34 cpunkpunk luna: i c
20:35 st3 i have to go just a moment
20:35 luna ok. should we now begin with the topics? or are there other general questions
20:36 st3 net matters :/
20:37 linksrhein st3: before you go ...
20:37 linksrhein i ve seen lots of translation work going on on www-it

21:14 linksrhein i'm quite disappointed at the moment

21:16 Boduognat "Old Europe" here..
21:16 Boduognat the "Axis of Weasels".. ring a bell?
21:16 luna sorry?
21:16 Boduognat never mind..
21:16] Boduognat (Bankrupt@cable-195-162-215-173.upc.chello.be) has parted. 12\xAB116 people12\xBB
21:17 luna alles klar!
21:17 linksrhein so we stop the meeting and leave for private talks?
21:18 luna hmm
21:20 luna we could first discuss the content and the distribution of this invitation mail
21:21 linksrhein ok, any proposals?
21:22 linksrhein luna?
21:22 luna a short description on how the tool works, that we want to get it international, that it's a great possibility to cooperate
21:22 luna yes
21:22 linksrhein ok
21:23] st3 (~root@62-101-126-208.fastres.net) has joined. 12\xAB117 people12\xBB
21:23 * st3 is happy, the net works now
21:24 luna maybe, that a little response would be great and if anybody is interested in an irc chat, so that we could all plan it in advance
21:24 luna maybe it works better that way.
21:25 linksrhein st3: we started collecting what should be written in the outreach mail
21:25 linksrhein ok
21:25 luna maybe put the topics into the mail and not as a link, so that they can see, what it's all about!
21:25 linksrhein good
21:25 * st3 agrees
21:26 luna emmm
21:27 luna maybe pointing out, that its a possibility to SPREAD news all over the world. there could be so many different nationalities working on the tool. something happens in india, one posts it on the tool, someone picks it up, anybody else sends it to imcs in usa maybe.
21:28 * Anna is finally here, sorry
21:28 st3 luna: i thought about smtg similar
21:28 luna cool
21:28 st3 i think that every imc could make a syndicate space
21:29 st3 with a mysql table, or a perl script
21:29 st3 that would tell translation system
21:29 st3 to send it articles about a topic in its language
21:30 linksrhein end?
21:30 luna to the tool or other way round?
21:30 st3 yes, end, xcuse me
21:31 st3 luna: to send articles to imc syndicate space
21:31 st3 or look for a way to retrieve sindycate news from the translation tool straight
21:31 st3 syndicate
21:32 luna would be great too! is that possible?
21:32 st3 i think so
21:32 st3 i could work on this
21:32 st3 we could do it with rdf/rss
21:33 st3 a method already used widely in indymedia
21:34 luna aha
21:34 linksrhein we should have in mind that we still dont have python programers in the project
21:35 st3 i have some c and php skills
21:35 st3 but no python :|
21:35 Anna isn't zapata the person to talk to about syndication?
21:35 st3 it's right but... we should not we trying to migrate to sf-active?
21:35 st3 i think it has similar features and works better for smtg
21:36 st3 for example, the way it's possible to admin it
21:36 st3 or the fact it's coded in php
21:36 linksrhein why not, every cms could implement this functionality
21:36 st3 cms==imc?
21:37 linksrhein content management system
21:37 st3 oh ok
21:37] gaietta (~x@62-101-126-208.fastres.net) has joined but is a 4Clone of st3 12 12\xAB118 people12\xBB
21:37 linksrhein who would do the migration?
21:37 st3 i could
21:37 st3 hrmm
21:37 st3 but
21:37 st3 sf-active works with mysql
21:37 st3 you know
21:38 st3 we could do it on stallman?
21:38 st3 i have no access at all on stallman
21:38 linksrhein end?
21:38 st3 so i dunno anything about the way the db works on it
21:39 st3 end, but i made some questions :)
21:39 linksrhein maybe to zapata? :-)
21:39 Anna is there anyone who can answer them?
21:40 st3 ps we could migrate it on ahimsa, i have access on it and ahimsa has mysql, but i dunno if you all agree
21:40 st3 (do you?)
21:40 Anna i have no clue what you're talking about :)
21:40 linksrhein me?
21:40 st3 you all :)
21:41 linksrhein anna: we speak about the migration to another codebase since more ppl could develop software in php than python
21:41 gaietta where is it at the moment'
21:42 Anna linksrhein, thanks. i meant that technically this is way beyond me..
21:42 linksrhein my opinion ...
21:43 linksrhein if ppl exist who would migrate it ...
21:43 linksrhein they should start developing ...
21:43 linksrhein we use the translation tool as it is until the moment comes to switch
21:44 linksrhein than we use translations.indymedia.org with a new codebase
21:44 linksrhein end
21:45 linksrhein hello?
21:45 st3 hm
21:46 st3 i think we should get more feedback about a possible migration
21:47 luna actually nothing changes on the site. or am i wrong?
21:47 ab-tired In my opion we should try to link translation tool with twiki, so that single translations can become a cooperative projects, rather than one persons workloads
21:47 st3 what do ya mean for nothing?
21:48 AlsterWasserMann did i hear php?
21:48 st3 AlsterWasserMann: yea you did
21:48 st3 =)
21:48 AlsterWasserMann yummy
21:49 st3 ab-tired: i think that twiki could be used for discussion and coordination about the tool
21:49 st3 AlsterWasserMann: it's good. made with real honey!
21:49 st3 :)
21:49 ab-tired I think it could be of good use hwilst translating articles too, if it could be a bit more flexible?
21:49 ab-tired too tired to think sorry
21:50 ab-tired just for some futuristic utopias :-)
21:50 st3 ab-tired: think so =)
21:50 * AlsterWasserMann loves php with honey but thinks it's even good without it.
21:51 st3 ab-tired: i think that twiki increase the work needed for admins and translators
21:51 st3 and gives nothing back
21:51 st3 really
21:51 linksrhein so a-man and st3: would you cooperate on developing a php/mysql system with similar / better functionality?
21:51 st3 furthermore, it's more direct and easy to use a sf-active translation tool
21:52 st3 linksrhein: sure i would
21:52 linksrhein a-man?
21:52 AlsterWasserMann well, theoretically for sure
21:52] gaietta \xAB~x@62-101-126-208.fastres.net\xBB has Quit iRC (Client Exiting11)
21:52 AlsterWasserMann but i want to develop the dispatch system as well
21:53 AlsterWasserMann so this might make me a bit short of free time
21:53 linksrhein :)
21:53 AlsterWasserMann but generally: yes
21:53 linksrhein for me it would meen ...
21:53 st3 i think that sf-active would be very good to do so
21:54 linksrhein to work less on documentation/layout/gui-translation in the meantime
21:54 st3 and i think that blicero and i could cooperate to hack it a bit and make it working for our needs
21:54 ab-tired st3. Idisagree strongly on that matter, but don't want to pursue differences in this issue any longer. twiki is good for interactivity; it will be good for translations and for every project posing heavy workload for one person but will make task much easier when more persons participate
21:56 * AlsterWasserMann will make some tea now but be back in 5 mins to see how the discussion is developing
21:56 linksrhein so do we have a decision on migration already?
21:57 * Anna wonders whether this is a structured discussion 'cause she has another idea to tell, later
21:57 linksrhein something like migration yes (asap) but codebase sf-active?
21:58 linksrhein or maybe mir? (looking to zapata)
21:58 Zapata hmmm
21:58 Zapata what's this about exactly...
21:58 Zapata I'm not really paying attention...
21:59 linksrhein actually i doesnt make sense to migrate to sf-active and later mir :-)
21:59 st3 ab-tired: i think that an user get very confused with a twiki system
21:59 Zapata what do you want to migrate to sf-active?
22:00 linksrhein translation tool funvtionality
22:00 st3 and it's not customizable and localizable as zope or sf-active would do
22:00 st3 Zapata: u can see it in action at translations.indymedia.or
22:00 st3 Zapata: u can see it in action at translations.indymedia.org
22:00 Zapata but is sf-active capable of doing such a thing?
22:01 st3 Zapata: sf-active offer same features as zope
22:01 st3 and adds more
22:01 Zapata ?
22:01 Zapata what features?
22:01 st3 a more powerful administration
22:01 st3 you don't know it?
22:01 Zapata more powerfull than ?
22:01 st3 than zope, o course
22:02 Zapata this current system is done in zope?
22:02 st3 yes it is
22:02 st3 i said
22:02 st3 Zapata: u can see it in action at translations.indymedia.org
22:02 st3 =)
22:02 Zapata I'm looking at it...
22:02 Zapata but...
22:02 Zapata can sf-active handle translations of articles?
22:03 st3 as this is currently done, sure
22:03 linksrhein its not about machine translation :-)
22:03 st3 i mean
22:03 Zapata how is it currently done?
22:03 Zapata links: I know...
22:04 st3 you can post an article (the article to be translated) and what we now call a comment (the article translation and whether it's to be revised other infos and so on)
22:04 Zapata ok...
22:04 ab-tired I just want to say that the workload for one person to translate an article might be too heavy sometimes, tresulting in key infomration not being translated, if there could be a system where you can drop your half translated articles with original and what you have already got other people could contribute to this already made effort
22:05 ab-tired might be technically be challenging to realise though :-)
22:05 Zapata ;-)
22:05 Zapata you're right...
22:05 st3 ab-tired: you r right...
22:05 Zapata "we" should plot out a path that eventually leads to a system with such features...
22:05 Zapata but for the relative short term, it'll be too much to ask...
22:06 st3 but anyway i don't think twiki it's the right solution for your problem
22:06 st3 we could make some hacks to sf-active
22:06 linksrhein ab: you can use wiki sysntax in arcticles already and work together on one article
22:06 Zapata twiki has some of those features...
22:06 st3 to make articles editable in a more structured mode
22:06 Zapata but lacks others...
22:06 * AlsterWasserMann is back
22:06 st3 and ppl sure could translate parts of an article as separated comments
22:07 st3 yea, at this point it would be quite hard to automatize for syndication
22:07 st3 but, with twiki it wouldn't be certainly easier
22:07 ab-tired for a translations indymedia we would need a bit more flexible ? cms?
22:08 ab-tired fro a user perspective it might be good to limit publishing to registered users only e.g.
22:08 ab-tired you might need a multiple language search function?
22:08 st3 you're talkin about twiki?
22:09 st3 ab-tired: sure i might need
22:09 ab-tired well no translation imc cms in general
22:09 * AlsterWasserMann reading chat log from when he was gone
22:09 ab-tired well I shut up too tired
22:09 Anna i think twiki can be a problem when a lot of translations need to be done in a short time range. like during a summit
22:10 Anna i really like it, but we tried tha and it is difficult to keep things in order
22:10 Zapata did any of you btw look at the way biotechimc handles translations?
22:11 st3 Zapata: i did not
22:11 Anna i didn't..
22:11 Zapata it's not exactly what you are looking for...
22:11 st3 why?
22:11 Zapata but it's like an imc site with the possibility of adding translations to articles...
22:11 Zapata http://biotechdev.mir.dnsalias.net/en/
22:11 Zapata for the test version... (so you can safely try it out)...
22:11 Zapata I'm still not satisfied with how things look in admin
22:12 Anna ha! my idea that i'm trying to get throught wih\xB4th for 1,5 years now!
22:12 Zapata ;-)
22:12 Anna thank you!
22:12 Zapata it was inspired by somewhat similar ideas by multiple people...
22:12 st3 yea, isn't really what we're lookin for
22:12 Zapata like you at the berling meeting...
22:12 Zapata and like imc ch, imc eh, and clara
22:13 Anna you have no idea how glad you are making me with this!
22:13 Zapata lol
22:13 Zapata I was kind of assuming clara had shown it to you...
22:14 Anna she didn't. but maybe she didn't know i had had this idea ages ago :)
22:14 Zapata hmmm
22:14 Zapata I think I told her...
22:14 Anna it's alright :)
22:14 Zapata ;-)
22:14 st3 ehr
22:14 st3 ...
22:14 linksrhein may i interrupt for structuring a bit?
22:14 Anna i'm sorry..
22:14 st3 linksrhein: i'd be glad :)
22:15 linksrhein so..
22:15 linksrhein we had the proposal to change to another codebase ...
22:15 linksrhein we then turned to tech-talk - maybe not interesting for all of us ...
22:16 st3 ok
22:16 linksrhein maybe the techies could find themselves in another meeting ...
22:17 linksrhein decide on what codebase could be the best ...
22:17 linksrhein then ..
22:17 linksrhein we had the discussion twiki versus openposting
22:17 linksrhein no agreement was possible
22:18 st3 why?
22:18 linksrhein then we have anna who wanted to make a different point
22:18 st3 and
22:18 linksrhein end
22:18 luna i'm pro openposting
22:18 st3 oops excuse me for i've interrupted you
22:18 * st3 stacks
22:18 luna cause the postings appear on one spot. and everybody can find it.
22:18 * Zapata raises hand
22:19 luna twiki is really
22:19 luna yes
22:19 st3 the discussion about the codebase that we'd use
22:19 luna confusing from time to time. to find the page you want to work on.
22:19 st3 it doesn't seem to me just a tech-talk
22:19 * Anna is withdrawing her point - it was just mentioned :)
22:19 st3 we must consider our needs, our knowledge, the time we have to develop it
22:19 st3 end
22:20 st3 should i do the moderator?
22:20 * st3 stacks Zapata
22:20 Zapata well...
22:20 Zapata what I want to say is...
22:20 Zapata that you all should distinguish between short term goals and long term goals...
22:21 Zapata short term goals: a system to work with in the very near future... it won't be perfect, but it'll be just a bit better than nothing...
22:21 Zapata long term goals: a good system, fit to your needs...
22:22 Zapata by doing a codebase switch now, before you really know yourself what kind of system you need and how to get it, seems to me to be helping neither the short term goal, nor the long term goal...
22:22 Zapata end
22:22 * st3 raises hand
22:22 * st3 stacks st3
22:22 st3 so...
22:23 st3 our short term goals
22:23 * AlsterWasserMann raises hand
22:23 st3 includes also the localization of the tool
22:23 st3 that means
22:23 st3 we could use zope at the moment
22:23 st3 localize it
22:23 st3 and customize it better
22:24 st3 and ok
22:24 st3 but we should now consider
22:24 st3 our long term goals as well
22:24 st3 cause if we decide to migrate the tool, i'd begin to do it now
22:25 st3 end
22:25 * st3 stacks AlsterWasserMann
22:25 * Zapata raises
22:25 AlsterWasserMann ok, Zapata already saod some
22:25 AlsterWasserMann of what i wanted to deal with
22:25 AlsterWasserMann but here itt is:
22:25 AlsterWasserMann i assume you will want to kick me around the channel for that but i wonder whether this discussion doesn't lead away from the really importing things. for sure it is important to select the codebase and technology for implementation of the system carefully. but i sometimes wonder what exactly is the idea behind the system and wheter we a re still keeping in mind a) what exactly ("translation" is a quite general term) the system is good for, b) whom the system is designed for, c) which scope it is supposed to have etc. i think these considerations need to be made before you actually discuss which codebase you selsct or move to. and it need to be discaussed over and over again to be sure you don't move away from your initial goals.
22:25 AlsterWasserMann (end)
22:25 Zapata alst: it was broken...
22:25 Zapata for, b) whom
22:26 Zapata was the last bit
22:26 AlsterWasserMann oh ok
22:26 AlsterWasserMann b) whom the system is designed for, c) which scope it is supposed to have etc. i think these considerations need to be made before you actually discuss which codebase you selsct or move to. and it need to be discaussed over and over again to be sure you don't move away from your initial goals.
22:26 AlsterWasserMann (end)
22:26 * st3 stacks Zapata
22:26 Zapata ok...
22:26 * st3 raises hand
22:27 Zapata my concern is, that switching codebases now, will take a lot of effort...
22:27 Zapata if you don't know really what you want at the long term, that effort may be wasted: you may have to switch again etc...
22:27 * linksrhein nods
22:27 Zapata once again, these remarks are only in general, I haven't really been following this groups work very well...
22:27 Zapata end
22:27 * st3 stacks st3
22:28 st3 i think, talking about what AlsterWasserMann said
22:28 st3 that we have already discussed
22:28 st3 what our goals related to the term 'translation' are
22:28 st3 but ok
22:28 st3 we sure haven't discussed the c) point
22:29 st3 so we could begin now
22:29 st3 end
22:29 * st3 stacks linksrhein
22:29 * AlsterWasserMann thinks you prolly defined it but i just didn't read enough ;)
22:29 linksrhein why?
22:29 * AlsterWasserMann raises hand
22:29 st3 oops
22:30 * st3 stacks AlsterWasserMann
22:30 AlsterWasserMann is i my turn alrady?
22:30 st3 yes
22:30 AlsterWasserMann well, what i wanted to say with my abc
22:30 AlsterWasserMann is (beside others)
22:30 AlsterWasserMann that i think it would be useful to have a direct interoperability with
22:31 AlsterWasserMann all the CMS's generally used by IMCs
22:31 AlsterWasserMann meaning sf-active and mir
22:31 AlsterWasserMann or whatever may come up inthe futre
22:31 * st3 shakes his hands (it means 'i agree' in imc italy :)
22:32 AlsterWasserMann i think it's important to keep an eye on the user, who would be the trasnbaltator, and another eye on simplicity and the several IMCs beneficials caused by an interface to the transaltion system
22:32 AlsterWasserMann (end)
22:33 * st3 raises and stacks himself
22:33 st3 so
22:33 st3 rdf/rss syndication system
22:33 st3 offers all the features you talked about
22:33 st3 imho
22:33 st3 end
22:33 st3 ps sf-active provides them
1222:34] 11ERROR 12> 421: Unknown command:11 RAISES
22:34 * AlsterWasserMann raises hand
22:34 * st3 stacks AlsterWasserMann
22:34 AlsterWasserMann so interoperability with sf-active is already there?
22:34 AlsterWasserMann and what about mir?
22:35 AlsterWasserMann can you automatically trnasfer content into and from imcs running mir as well?
22:35 AlsterWasserMann (end)
22:35 * st3 raises and stacks
22:35 * Zapata raises
22:35 st3 it's very simple
22:35 st3 to get rdf feeds
22:35 st3 and display them
22:36 st3 it could be done with 3 lines of perls or so
22:36 st3 it could be done with 3 lines of perl or so
22:36 st3 i dunno anything about mir
22:37 st3 but i think the support could be coded in 2 days
22:37 st3 end
22:37 * st3 stacks Zapata
22:37 Zapata ok...
22:37 Zapata well...
22:37 Zapata that way of using rss syndication...
22:37 Zapata may well be considers very lacking for a lot of the people here...
22:37 Zapata may well be considerED very lacking for a lot of the people here...
22:37 Zapata mir also supports importing rss feeds into the db...
22:37 Zapata but...
22:37 Zapata also that is lacking...
22:38 Zapata what I think that is meant by alst, is to be able to have a random imc import an article into their newswire on that imc's request...
22:38 Zapata this requires quite a lot...
22:38 * AlsterWasserMann nods
22:38 Zapata not so much from the translation system, but from all the other codebases...
22:39 * st3 raises
22:39 Zapata some of the mircoders have been thingking about making such a thing... and coordinating it with coders from other codebases...
22:39 Zapata but this will be quite complicated... and it will take plenty of time...
22:39 Zapata end
22:39 * st3 stacks st3
22:39 st3 so
22:39 st3 for you
22:39 st3 there aren't other solutions
22:39 st3 than the one being coded by mir developers
22:39 st3 isn't it?
22:39 st3 and
22:40 st3 what about our short term goals?
22:40 * AlsterWasserMann wonders whom "you" is
22:40 * ab-tired raises hand
22:40 st3 i think they could wait =)
22:40 st3 AlsterWasserMann you Zapata
22:40 * Zapata notes that this idea is more or less originated by the mircoders, but it'll hopefully be a joint mir/sfa/dada project...
22:40 st3 ok
22:40 st3 end
22:40 * st3 stacks ab-tired
22:41 ab-tired dunno but would agree that an imc translation has other needs than a usual imc
22:41 ab-tired therefore in my opinion we should stick with what we have, figure out what we want and then prioritise our needs
22:42 ab-tired andd see then what system is the best for the adaptions which we would need to make
22:42 ab-tired and if anybody is willing and able to make
22:42 ab-tired and then trying to get the closest solution possible
22:42 ab-tired just on the organisatorial level on how to proceed
22:43 ab-tired with decision making
22:43 * Zapata completely agrees with ab
22:43 ab-tired ned
22:43 ab-tired sorry end
22:43 * st3 agrees
22:44 ab-tired Oh not ot forget to draw in the evalutation of the resources we have ;-)
22:44 * AlsterWasserMann agrees to everything Zapata agrees to
22:44 Zapata lol
22:44 Zapata ;-)
22:45 AlsterWasserMann sometimes i just can't hold back ;)
22:45 * ab-tired raises hand
12\xAB11mtoups 12in11 #tech 12at11 22:4512\xBB AlsterWasserMann: yeah what's up?
22:46 st3 oops
22:46 * st3 stacks ab-tired
22:46 ab-tired dunno about zope but was told it is some aplication server- so maybe if we want to achieve short term goals there might be a better application for our needs than squishdot? but no clue about this tech stuff.
22:46 st3 :)))
22:47 * linksrhein raises hand :-)
22:47 ab-tired end
22:47 * st3 stacks linksrhein
22:47 ab-tired ab stacks linksrhein
22:47 linksrhein :-)
22:47 linksrhein just for not to get confused ...
22:48 linksrhein squishdot is a weblog or bulltin bourd system, using zope capabilities
22:48 linksrhein its no cms
22:49 linksrhein if you use a cms, the application server might get much slower
22:49 linksrhein for the given purpose (see feature list) it was sufficient
22:50 linksrhein but if you take different zope-cms, you are at the same point, maybe as sf-active/mir
22:50 linksrhein end

22:53 AlsterWasserMann i don't know about the other events

22:54 blicero_lab ok
22:55 blicero_lab i mean, AlsterWasserMann
22:55 blicero_lab you mean for tranlation purpose apart from dispatch purpose
22:55 blicero_lab because the point is that i think translation and dispatch whould be kept separated
22:55 blicero_lab end
22:55 AlsterWasserMann i mean for the whole dispatch process which (in my definition) includes translation
22:55 Zapata Should be kept seperated, I presume?
22:56 st3 sure
22:56 blicero_lab Zapata: yes
22:57 AlsterWasserMann any ideas about the other events? cancun and noborder?
22:57 st3 i think zope will fit well for cancun and noborder
22:57 blicero_lab no idea about cancun
22:57 st3 as i think we can't have a functional translation tool
22:57 blicero_lab noborder ??'
22:57 st3 before cancun
22:57 blicero_lab which noborder ?
22:57 st3 sure
22:58 AlsterWasserMann zope=translationtool?
