[Translators-l] Content translators needed for a user study on article recommendations

[Purodha Blissenbach]

Hi Jonathan,

in my federal state branch of the German Pirate Party, we all day long 
successfully combine Etherpad:
http://etherpad.org/
for shared writing, and mumble:
http://mumble.sourceforge.net/
for voice connections. Both are FLOSS, but I cannot tell whether or not 
they would suffice for what you are doing during your research.
