Wiki-translation discussion

Hi, I registered here a while ago, being both a translator and a TW user. Unfortunately, I could not participate much, for the simple reason that, my job keeping me on the desktop typing so intensively, I absolutely needed to spend my free time away from computers and linguistics.

Anyway, now I have an opportunity for you.

Many translators are unsatisfied with their present forum (proz.com), and are asking me to create another forum, more confidential, but of course with i18n.

At the same time, I want to provide them with the wiki tool, because we are tired of the forum-only solutions for technical questions, always having to reply to the same technical questions, never accumulating knowledge in wiki pages.

At the same time, many are curious of the possibilities of opensource translation tools. The industry standard Trados costs way too much and is of arguable quality standard.

So I thought I could make you meet them, and them meet you.

There will be a place for them to talk of whatever translators want to talk among themselves, a place for discussing wiki pages, and a place for them to talk to you.

Of course, on penaoz.org you will have the possibility to experiment whatever feature you deem interesting, and discuss the reactions of those professional of translation.

If you are interested, send me an e-mail at arnaudherve at gmail dot com. It will be a closed site, for professionals, on invitation only. Things are going to start consistently in September.
