History: CLWE Google Summer of Code Proposal

Source of version: 2 (current)

The Cross Lingual Wiki Engine project aims at designing, developing and testing lightweight wiki tools to support communities that collaboratively create and maintain content in multiple languages. Such tools are needed for example, by the Mozilla Support community (our lead user organization) that produce multilingual user documentation. Although the project is based on a TikiWiki platform (an Open Source project), our aim is to come up with a blueprint and reference implementation that other wiki engines can easily emulate. The project was started in November 2007, and thus far, we have implemented basic features which could be used by a community of motivated and technically sophisticated users, to collaboratively produce multilingual content in simple scenarios. We are applying for Google Summer of Code funding in order to bring the system to a next level, by improving its ease of use, and allowing it to deal with more complex scenarios.
