As Ludoviko asked me in a thread about the progress of the new version, and yep it's true I don't communicate a lot about the progress (except always saying "well it will be possible in the new version) so basically

The sentence database is somewhat finish, and debugged (memory leak etc.) thanks to the help of Qdii. So what's already possible with it
* view all the translations of one sentence (even the 20th degree translation), so it will be no more a problem in the next version of tatoeba
* real time detection of duplicate (even when correcting a sentence) so here again
* perfomance improvement, if we only talk about sentence+translation retrieving (not talking about html generation etc.) it's very damn fast now, kinda 10 000 time faster for the complex queries we make in tatoeba, so here again I hope it will fix the "well i don't plan to add this or that feature because the server is already over busy"

Framework / website itself

I've said it on my twitter, we're moving from cakephp to a c++ framework, during some time we tought about django, but well seems me and biptaste are not made for this and django will have not solve the performance issue. It took us some times to started to be confident with it and set up the general architecture. But now it starts to works fine and we're going to reimplment pages now (that's one of the reason I didn't talk too much about it, because for the moment the progress we've made was mainly code stuff, so nothing "visual" tough it represent a huge part of the work)
For the geeks among us who're wondering if write tatoeba in c++ with an "obscure" framework is not some stupid decision that only increase the developping time, I will say no, in fact not so much.
1 - anyway we were about to learn a new framework, so I think an important part of the development time is spend into understanding the framework rather than "typing code", and even if the community for this framework is very small, it has one subtil advantage, the main/only developer is really accessible so we can ask him directly questions about our personnal problem, he's very reactive and we can be sure of the reliability of his answer (after all it's his project:p)
2 - As I've said one of the problem of the current Tatoeba is performance, we're not making money on Tatoeba, I'm still a student and Trang used to be, so we don't have money to spend on renting server etc. so as we're developing it for free, for fun, "how many times" we spend in developing it is not an issue, the real issue is hardware, so improving by 2 the perfomance means we can handle 2 more time users without needing new hardware / needing to spent more money (tough for the moment we're kindly host by the French FSF, but well they don't have illimited ressource, and we don't want to abuse of it). So making it now in c++ will assure us we will not need to do that in the future, so I think on the long term it will save us time/money

Also need to add that now all the feature we will add will have an api counterpart, so it will ease development of third party application using tatoeba.

So it's where we are so far, not so much "visual" stuff to present, but the motor is already on a good way, and i think it was the most difficult / "not rewarding" part. Oh forget to say we also spend some times to set up some collaborativ tools as a redmine, a git repository etc. on my server,


For the moment as I think the 3 main feature of "no limit in depth translation" and "real time duplicate detection", and "speed up" are the current 3 major problem of tatoeba. The first release of the new version will maybe bring nothing more new (except some little improvement there and there), so don't wait huge difference or brand new features. But after that we will be able to have a more frequent release cycle which will introduce new features one by one / integrate
all the request all of you made on the wall / emails
So real time research / problem with tag autocompletion will maybe part of the first new release, but if they're not they will appears in the following weeks after this first release.

For more technicals details, I think i really need to start a "what's behind tatoeba" blog, to talk about geek stuffs ^^
