Subject	[babel-dev] Thank you for your comment

Hello, Kit-san and Denis-san,

At the committer meeting in Santa Clara on March 23rd, we got your request
and
comments about our proposal. Yesterday, we had a meeting and discussed.

As a conclusion, we can accept your requests, and we intend to consider
them on
our design and implementation. And we would like to contribute to success
of
Babel and community-based translation.

Your request:
 a) Cooperation in modification of our product after disclosing our source
code.
   It will be about the end of June.
=> No problem.

 b) Babel would like to expand current translation server to help files
support
as an on-line solution. And Babel would like to accept Japanese donation
as an
off-line solution.  
=> OK

 c) In order to implement above two solutions on one database server, Denis
would like to store help documents one sentence by sentence.
=> What is important is logic to pick up each sentence. If it is standardized,
it would be convenient for any expansion.

 d) About proposed translation workflow and roles, Babel would like to
treat it
as an optional configuration, because many other small communities.
=> There is no problem to adopt your idea. The implementation will not
be so
strict.
 We hope the functionality of interconversion between XLIFF and Database.
If it
will be provided, it would be benefit not only for us but also for Babel.
Because XLIFF is a global standard which is used by many translators, XLIFF
interface will realize the interoperability among other translation communities.
  - The import function will divide html files into sentences. So
Babel doesn't
need 
   to care about it .
  - If Babel will have the import function of XLIFF files, it will
be able to
import
   XLIFF sentences directly to the server.
  - And more, if Babel will have a function of exporting XLIFF sentences,
   the interoperability between on-line and off-line solutions will
be
available.
  
 e) Command line interface for importing html ( and other) files to XLIFF
on the
server side.
=> It should be available with ant task.

By the way, at the committer meeting, we made some drawing. Is it available
in
pdf format?

Regards,
