I have no personal \nproblem with that - most of us need to make a living in one way or another. \n\nHaving said that, ProZ.com is in some ways not unlike open-source projects. \nMost of the services and features provided are available free of charge. \nConversely, it&#39;s also possible for individuals to contribute - again, free of \ncharge, to the degree that they wish, and with relatively little intervention \nfrom site management.\n\nMuch the same can also be said of Wordfast. Wordfast is commercial software, \nyes, but as commercial software goes, it is a very &quot;liberal&quot; effort. The \nproduct costs considerably less than its immediate competitors; licenses are \nfairly liberal. (Wordfast has become less &quot;user-friendly&quot; in both these \nrespect recently, but it is still less &quot;commercial&quot;.) Users have a much \ngreater role in developing the product, testing and writing documentation \nthan is the case with other commercial products. A license key is required to \nuse Wordfast in non-demo mode, but Yves Champollion has been known to tell \nusers how to get around this requirement. He has invested, proportionate to \nthe respective user bases, considerable effort in getting Wordfast to run on \nthe Macintosh. At one point, he even donated a Macintosh to the Wordfisher \nproject - at one time Wordfast&#39;s most immediate competitor. Don&#39;t expect \nTrados or Atril to adopt this strategy. :-)\n\nComing back to ProZ.com and Linux: ProZ.com&#39;s site management did in fact \noffer to host my &quot;Linux for Translators&quot; resource pages on ProZ.com. This \nwould have given these pages much greater visibility without costing me \nanything. This is not entirely altruistic, of course - it also means greater \nvisibility for ProZ.com, and also less visibility for me, which is one reason \nwhy I declined - but it is hardly consistent with ProZ.com being anti-Linux.\n\nI did, in fact, write two HowTos on Linux which have been published on \nProZ.com. For doing so, like any other HowTo contributor, I was rewarded with \nBrownie points. It&#39;s debatable what these Brownie points are actually worth, \nbut the fact is that they provide access to further ProZ.com services that \nwould normally have to be paid for, and I have received them in return for \nbeing able to advocate Linux on ProZ.com. So I am hardly going to complain.\n\nMany people do think that there is no CAT software for Linux, but that is \nhardly surprising: none of the main applications, i.e. Trados, Deja Vu, SDLX \nand Transit, run on Linux; Wordfast only runs on Linux with the aid of the \nCrossover Office emulation software. Several of the &quot;minor&quot; products (such as \nOmegaT, Araya, Ecco) run on Linux, mainly with the aid of either Crossover \nOffice or Java, but the fact is that most translators, at least in Western \nEurope and North America, don&#39;t regard them as realistic alternatives. That \nview is changing (I hope), not least thanks to the considerable work done by \nKeith and Maxym (the developers) in enhancing functionality, but OmegaT has \nonly been available in a usable form for about two years, so it will take \ntime.\n\nThe views expressed in ProZ.com fora aren&#39;t necessarily those of the site \nmanagement. Also, whenever the subject of CAT tools for Linux (or Linux for \ntranslators in general) comes up, I take the opportunity to present a \nrealistic description of the situation. Often, this is effectively a chance \nto advertise OmegaT for free. (It works, because it&#39;s always followed by a \nsurge in downloads.) So far, the site management has been very tolerant of me \nmentioning OmegaT and Linux; in fact, they have even joked about how I manage \nto mention OmegaT and Linux in threads about completely unrelated \nsubjects. :-) What it comes down to is this: if you want Linux and OmegaT to \nbe mentioned more often on ProZ.com, it&#39;s up to you to do the mentioning.\n\nOmegaT is mentioned in the list of CAT tools on ProZ.com; this is despite the \nfact that Deja Vu and Transit, whose user bases run into the thousands, are \nnot listed. We only have (at present) 58 users, but that&#39;s not ProZ.com&#39;s \nfault. Incidentally, this figure has doubled in the last three months.\n\nMarc\n\n"}}
