A long time ago, I developed a loginshare script for a customer, that I think can now be shared with the community. I don’t know much about LoginShare, and the truth is that their forum doesn’t tell me much either, but based on a similar script, I developed the following script to use Dokeos 1.8.5 […]
This one is tricky… (and not so practical just yet) So let’s say you have a 120 pages document, written using MS-Word, and which is understood pretty well by OpenOffice.org Writer (v2).

I received an e-mail from someone at the GPL-violations.org group, regarding an inquiry I made about a company that might be infringing GPL with an unproper use of Dokeos. Basically they’re telling me I should investigate the case with people that have previous knowledge of GPL violations case in a country where the company is […]

In this article, Stas Malyshev describes the internationalization extension and mentions it’s been included in the PHP 5.3 core. It is an extensive article with plenty of examples to explain every component of Internationalization: Locale, Collator, Number formatter, Date formatter, Message formatter, Normalizer, Grapheme and Internation Domain Names.
