OK, the new features and improvements over 0.8.7 are now pretty stable and mature enough for prime time. The current cycle will be mostly focused on updating translations, user manual and bug fixing.

Translating Kinovea is as simple as downloading a spreadsheet and filling in the gaps. (learn more on this page).
If you start a new language please post in this thread indicating which language you are starting to work on.

It is a so-called forge, a site where an Open Source project can store code, documents, and organize itself.

Kinovea is the project of the month for April! (with a little interview :-D )

CodingTeam is a relatively small forge compared to some of the big players, but it offers many nice features. If you are looking for a place for your (open source) project and don’t want the hassle of setting up all the tools yourself, it’s definitely a nice place to check.
