good stuff happening on the Open Source front

It pays to go back to those good old bookmarks from time to time to check if they have changed (wasn’t there a service that does that automatically for you?). Looking for XLIFF related tools, I checked out Martin Wunderlich’s site again on
http://www.martinwunderlich.com/frameset.php4?siteid=links&languageid=en. If I remember correctly that site got me on track to find new Enlaso tools a while ago. But anyway - I looked up his site and found that there is a lot going on in terms of XLIFF conversion tools to round-tripping file formats from and to XLIFF. I like this development - and in particular the jobs done by all those Open Source people. This is a great way for freelancers to get more independent of those expensive tools that have to charge high prices because of the way they have to interact proprietary software and the way they use file formats. Maybe the future strengthening of XML will change this a little bit?

I liked particularly what I saw on https://open-language-tools.dev.java.net/ - which already looks quite promising. Three cheers for all tools that are cheaper and support industry standards.
