Is there a comprehensive feature list for the FLOSS infrastructure somewhere? Something to make one accomodated with it, like a quick start how-to? (Couldn't find one. Probably blindness.)

Yes, so maybe first step is to investigate the different open-source alternatives and after that we deploy an infrastructure somewhere and asking some ESUG funds ;-) At the moment, i'm only aware of the FLOSS manual infrastructure, mainly used by OLPC (but not only). We could also used a Pier infrastructure like the one provided for http://book.seaside.st/book but there is no support for translations. -- Serge Stinckwich UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC), Hanoi, Vietnam Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://doesnotunderstand.org/
