NAME
   Pangloss - a multilingual web-based glossary.

SYNOPSIS
     use Pangloss;

     # there's much more to it than that, of course...

DESCRIPTION
   Pangloss is a *terminology management system* who's goal is to help
   translators produce consistent translations of common terms across
   multiple languages. The system allows users to search through and manage
   terms and their translations.

   There are 4 main types of users:

   Administrators
     Admins can create, remove, or modify user accounts, languages,
     categories, concepts and terms.

   Translators
     Translators can submit & modify term translations for a given concept.

   Proofreaders
     Proofreaders can accept/reject/etc. term translations by modifying a
     term's status.

   Generic users
     Other users can search through the terms, but cannot modify any
     content.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
   Pangloss can be broken down into these parts:

 The Application Model
   In MVC terms, Pangloss::Application and its sub-components form the
   *model* of the system. It includes exception-handling and validation
   code for collections of the following objects:

   * Pangloss::User
   * Pangloss::Language
   * Pangloss::Category
   * Pangloss::Concept
   * Pangloss::Term

   Any action by the application classes results in a view of the system
   represented by a Pangloss::Application::View.

 The Web Application
   Pangloss::WebApp acts as the *controller* of the system. It takes in a
   request and passes it through a Pipeline of modules that talk to the
   Pangloss::Application to figure out an appropriate response. Most of the
   so-called *business logic* sits at this level.

   By default Petal templates are used to present the application *view* to
   the user.

   Pangloss::WebApp is configured by environment variables passed to
   Pangloss::Config. The controller is defined by a Pipeline::Config file.

 The Shell
   Pangloss has an off-line administration tool, pg_admin.

INSTALLATION
   For detailed installation instructions, see Pangloss::Install or the
   INSTALL file.
