Language Depot vs Language Forge

[LR-Language Software Support]

I am interested in knowing the differences/similarities between Language Depot and Language Forge.  Which one is recommended (and why) for a full Send/Receive in FieldWorks?

Thank you,

Language Depot is the database backend used by FieldWorks *and* Language Forge.

Language Forge is a simple web front end to build a dictionary. Functionality is targeted to be somewhat like WeSay, only web based. Language Forge is still in beta development.

It is possible for a single project to have expert people using FieldWorks and communities using Language Forge.

Hope this helps,
Paul

Wow. I didn't get this. So if we sync between FLEx and ld.org, and the ld.org project has been imported to lf.org, then those changes should show up in lf.org? That would be awesome. -Kent

Well, I was about to cry foul, but then I noticed the "synchronize" button in lf.org. So it doesn't automatically keep up to date (i.e., it's not actually using that repo as its source), but it's pretty close.
It looks like there is a repository change only when you synchronize back (not when lf.org says 'saved'), and the user responsible for those changes is "Language Forge". Is there any way to see which Language forge user made those changes? It looks like I can find that information on lf.org, at least....
In any case, thanks for the work; it's looking good!

Grace,

Kent
