In Germany the official post office provides this service for 1,90 Euros (stamp costs 0,55 Cents). https://www.schreibcenter.de/schreibcenter/ I like the interface of your service!

You can use Google Translate over HTTP like this: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?... They're not bad. I use it in a TextMate-Script which replaces Text with the translation (for gettext files).

The linked download section features nothing new for a web developer. But its nice to see a centralized approach to do a "best practice" in web speed. Though in its infant stages (e.g. the image optimization articles are very old news and l

None, not even HTML 5 but XHTML 1.1. I was mistaken/too eager to see it. I hope it'll be the new AJAX, like in my clients saying "I want that".

Didn't know "Tex Fonts". With those installed, this is the best solution for mathematics on the web. Great concept.

I’d like to know if the "flag" function works out for this. Since it’s a community, and a big one, there shouldn’t be one who looses a weekend but the community which solves this by itself. They should (temporarily?) disable the need to reg

About Compass not being the solution: "The problem is simply that most designers and CSS authors aren’t programmers." Well, they don’t have to anymore. Who needs a "CSS author" or a designer who writes code? Thanks to solutions like Compass

I think that’s assuring the quality (not that it is very high). People start to realize that you shouldn’t do/say something on the web that shouldn’t be public. If every public forum was with real names we wouldn’t read so much rubbish.
