History: Newsletter April 2008
Preview of version: 7
This is the first draft of a newsletter that will be sent to all wiki-translation members early march. Please help me write it.

Well, there has been a flury of activity around the CLWE project over that last couple of months:
Here's a quick report of recent significant results
Louis-Philippe Huberdeau has been busily implementing features for collaborative translation in TikiWiki (with significant help from Alain Désilets, Sébastien Paquet, Xavier de Pedro, Nelson Ko and of course, Marc Laporte). We are really happy with how it's turning out, and feel that this first version is already useful as is.
Rick Sapir filmed a demo of the central features:

In February, Alain Désilets, Marc Laporte and Louis-Philippe Huberdeau met with Olaf-Michael Stefanov, a newly retired former senior officer at the UN translation department. Olaf told us that many UN and EU agencies are looking for ways to allow volunteers to collaboratively translate material.
Thus, Marc Laporte will be presenting the Cross Lingual Wiki Engine (CLWE) and TikiWiki at the upcoming computer assisted translation conference in Tunis, 23-25 April. There will be approximately 120 - 160 participants, representing international organizations and European transnational bodies, e.g. UN, EU.
The Joint Inter-Agency Meeting on Computer- Assisted Translation and
Terminology, renamed in April 2006 International Annual Meeting on
Computer-Assisted Translation and Terminology (JIAMCATT), provides its
partners with a forum for debate, exchange of expertise and cooperation in the fields of computer-assisted terminology and translation, interpretation and documentation retrieval. It works to establish a proprietary terminology and information repository common to all participating organizations.
Marc will be giving a presentation as part of the "Content management
systems (technical aspects)" session. He will also be giving a demo.
Three aspects have been identified that will be especially important for this crowd.
1- Cross-Lingual Wiki Engine project (led by NRC Canada)
2- http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Wiki+Page+Staging+and+Approval (example use of SUMO as part of translation process)
3- General wiki-groupware functionality.
Nelson, can you write a short blurb here?
A screencast of "staging and approval" would be nice too :-)
