A Burgeoning Initiative

["Yves Savourel" <yves@opentag.com>]

Hi everyone,

Several of you are already aware of this initiative, but I thought, since it is somewhat related to XLIFF, it would be useful to post the information on the XLIFF lists, so it may reach parties possibly interested in this line of collaboration.

The "Container project" and the "MED project" are exploring the possibility of working on a common container format. A package of sort that would group the different material one send when working on a "localization/translation" project (the MED project also includes authoring). For example: the documents to translate, the terminology, the TM, reference material, manifest, style guides, etc. This is also related to the type of work done at the "Interoperability Now project".

The initiative is driven by Manuel Tomas Carrasco Benitez and Alan Melby.

As Tomas said: "everybody is welcome: they just have to go to https://lists.forge.osor.eu/listinfo/med-public";.

Cheers,
-yves
