Hallo Stéphane

Is there a page describing Vertimus and the features it has? I did not
find a lot of documentation on it, although a quick look at the
gnomefr.traduc.org site looked interesting.

We will definitely continue to work on Pootle and the underlying
technology (the Translate Toolkit) in the next few years. We have some
projects that we have planned, and it will be active. We really want to
look at simplifying the management of teams, users and files (which I
think is some of the things that Vertimus helps with, correct?).

We have also been talking to Dimitris from the Transifex project about
collaboration. The Translate Toolkit is a wonderful platform to build
localisation tools on, but our collaboration could involve much more
(although we haven't really discussed much detail yet).

In terms of technology platforms, we currently use jToolkit with kid
templates, although we will want to port that to another platform,
probably keeping the kid templates.

I don't know if this answers your question or if you want more detail.
Feel free to ask :-)

Keep well
Friedel
