[FM Discuss] FLOSS Manuals goes to the university

[Lachlan Musicman]

:) I'll be assigning the english version of the Open Translation Tools
manual ( http://en.flossmanuals.net/opentranslationtools ) as the core
reading for my class "Technology and Translation" next year as well...

Also note that the OTT was mentioned in this ABC Radio National radio
documentary on the multilingual web:
