Originally designed for use in ISO/IEC JTC1 subcommittees and in other standards bodies. Manages a registry of multi-lingual equivalents of various normative term definitions. Basically a fancy dictionary app for standards wonks.
I wrote it at Infoman Inc. in 2006, and it was my first Rails app. I tried my best to come up with abstractions that dealt with the complexities of the ISO workflows. The original "database" was a big-ass WordPerfect 5.1 file containing a gigantic table. D:
Probably still wants Rails 1.x. It'll need to be upgraded.

- replacement of the database without deleting all of the sessions can cause the server to spin forever when restarted. I'm not sure why this is.
- make sure that the web server, be it lightty, mongrel or apache, make sure that it returns the correct MIME type for XML files. Just returning the file with any old MIME type isn't enough, or very strange things will happen on browsers that aren't IE6 (IE7, Opera and Gecko all break).
