The narcotic known as ‘open source’
-
“Open-source: A stimulant of the central nervous system, tolerance reuptake inhibitor, reliance suppressant and cargo-cult inhibitor. Because of the way it strongly affects the left-brain pathways responsible for the feelings of independence, autonomy, self-determination and confidence, open-source can be highly addictive.

Big-picture release translation status

We’ve been working hard in bringing transifex.net live, developing Lotte, the Lightweight Online Translation Editor, recruiting two more developers for Indifex, opening up a new office and stuff. Been experimenting with new things too. One of them was various mockups to improve the way we present [...]
