[Gvsig_english] gvSIG and Plone: two open source communities advancing together

[comunicacion_gvsig at gva.es]

gvSIG uses the free, open source content management system Plone, to  
coordinate the contribution to gvSIG of many collaborators. We at  
gvSIG are advancing together, thanks in part to the collaborative work  
by Plone developers and users.

The gvSIG community has been collaborating to translate gvSIG user  
interface to 20 languages, and continues advancing to make gvSIG  
available in even more languages. To facilitate this joint endeavour,  
gvSIG has developed with the valencian company Model Driven  
Development, a collaborative Plone application integrated in the gvSIG  
portal, allowing the coordination of a growing number of translators.

gvSIG is going to make the application available to the Plone  
community at large soon, releasing it as free, libre, open source  
software (FLOSS), following gvSIG phylosophy of avancing together, and  
in this case, together with the Plone community. gvSIG and Model  
Driven Development sl will extend the application, to cover not just  
the user interface of gvSIG and its extensions (using Java .properties  
format), but also the translation of Plone user interfaces (using GNU  
gettext PO format). We will inform about the publishing of this tool  
soon. For further information you can consult the gvSIG web portal,  
http://www.gvsig.org.

gvSIG is going to present the application for translation of user  
interfaces, to the international community of Plone developers and  
users, represented by Model Driven Development, sl, on the event of  
the First European Plone Symposium - 2009, being held in the week from  
11th to 17 of May, 2009, at Sorrento, Italy  
(http://plone.org/events/regional/european-symposium-2009).
