Render is a tool developed by Faith Comes By Hearing for oral bible translation. With LaunchPad and Couchbase (see below), render supports configurable, distributed asynchronous translation workflows, so projects can configure workflows which best meet their needs, and team members can perform work online or offline, and sync as network is available.
The project is transitioning from closed to open source, initially via release snapshots (cathedral model now, perhaps bazaar later).
Render is trademarked, if you wish to distribute a revised version of this app, you may not call it Render, nor use the Render Icon.
This release includes the ability to create a demo build (like this) which includes a working project. However, although all sync code is included, access to our sync servers is not - so the build will functionally be stand-alone (without sync), which you can revise, test, submit pull requests, etc.
For sync, you'll need to setup a Couchbase service, or revise render to use something else. In addition, render projects are created via a separate web app called LaunchPad (please contact us if you would like details), or you could revise render to use something else for project creation.
So this initial release does not include everything needed to immediately duplicate a production infrastructure, but it is a significant first step toward collaborative open development.
