[Darren Kenny <Darren Kenny Sun COM>]

Has anyone looked into the use of Tim Fosters (yeah Glynn's brother) 
open language tools?

   https://open-language-tools.dev.java.net/

I know they are in Java, but this is the main point of what it addresses 
- the sharing of translations - while it doesn't have the "server" 
functionality, it does go some way to supporting the idea of sharing of 
translations.

PS - I'm no expert in L10N or I18N, so please excuse my ignorance...
