Last night we released the beta version of i18n DB. i18n DB is an effort to create open-source resource bundles of commonly used text by leveraging crowd-sourcing. Key value pairs are organized in domains, enabling users to infer context and choose the most apropos set of key value pairs for their application. In addition, each i18n user can enter a new key text pair or supply an alternate value for an existing key value pair, creating a customized variant of a key value pair set.

We encourage all our multilingual visitors and users to participate. Each user can create a localized variant of any key text pair on the site. We believe that when the database becomes large enough, developers can use the i18n DB to create resource bundles for their internationalized software.

We are working to create an open-source package for i18n DB code base, JSPs, and Java source code included. As soon as the package is ready, I will post a link here. The downloadable package will help anyone to create and deploy a version of the i18n DB website.

Several weeks ago we added an AJAX chat page to HostJ2ME.com. The page enables users of the HostJ2ME.com website to chat with others website users and with users of the OSM mobile client. The chat UI implementation is completely HTML and JavaScript, and uses AJAX to check for new messages in the server database. Use view-source to see how the HTML and AJAX code is implemented. As with most of the software we produce, the code is open-source and can be copied, changed, and redistributed without charge. If you need to see the server implementation, please send us an email.

To check out the chat page, visit HostJ2ME.com and log into your account.

The first version of the Astrient Foundation Common library is available. It contains the base components used in the Foundation's software applications. It is free to use and modify. You can browse the source online by clicking the link below.

HostJ2ME.com and WorldDeveloper.org (CliqCafe hosted) are Java web applications running on Tomcat 6 on Centos. Specifically:

[root@HostJ2ME ~]$ cat /proc/version

Linux version 2.6.24-19-xen (buildd@king) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) #1 SMP Sat Jul 12 00:15:59 UTC 2008

[root@HostJ2ME ~]$ java -version

java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)

This environment has been stable for years, and we often operate our servers for hundreds of days at a time before rebooting or restarting services. Using Slicehost.com, we are able to clone or backup servers with little effort. Here are the issues that we considered when choosing the technologies for the two aforementioned applications.
