What is the best multilingual library for apphooks in django-cms? - localization

I am looking for the best solution to solve the problem of multilingual webpage with django-cms. Django-cms has build in multilangs and is working cool. Now I prepare my own app. I am going to connect this app with django-cms by apphook. I need some clever idea for puting langs into my app. The best solution is to have the same tabs with langs in my app, like is in django-cms page. I love this cms's solution but I haven't got idea how to do this. Have you got any ideas?
Ok, I see that I have minus one point for my question, I don't understand why. I did a lot of research. I was trying transmeta, is not what I was expected, django-multilingual error:
multilingual/templatetags/multilingual_tags.py in reorder_translation_formset_by_language_id, line 82
multilingual-ng is not supported.
In djangopackages.com I found a lot of libs, I am think about this django-modeltranslation but still I am looking the best solution that is the most similar to django-cms - this tabs looks very cool. If anybody could help me, if you could give me some suggestions I will be glad. Thanks.

Very strong ties to django CMS so it's very likely to work, and continue working.

Apotomo alternative

The information on the home page of the project I'm working has been piling up that now we are looking for something to create a dashboard-like interface.
That's how I found Apotomo, but I'm wondering what would be some alternatives worth looking into.
So far, I've looked through the Rails Presenters on ruby-toolbox.
Thankful for any suggestions to speed-up the development.
ActiveAdmin has a nice dashboard, might be worth checking out. Here it is on their demo and the commented code

Where to get help with Action Script 3 - User groups, etc?

I am developing in rails and have some programming background.
I'm looking for help with Action Script 3, but most of my googling turns up "copy-paste" style answers from designers who don't understand code, and the solutions rarely work.
Where do I go to find Action Script programmers, rather than designers?
To give you an idea of what I'm trying to solve, here's where I'm currently stuck:
Get the flash file to communicate with rails trying with json, I'm not seeing any requests to the rails server, and I can't tell where the block is. I'm not sure if I'm encountering security issues with the browser trying to stop communication, or if I'm missing something somewhere.
Get the flash file to redirect the browserI assume this is difficult because it's a security issue, so what's the solution? put javascript on the page, call the flash from javascript, get flash to communicate with javascript and then get javascript to get the browser to redirect?
I think overall it would be good to get some tools that helped debug the communications, requests in and out of flash. I can use wireshark, but I think what I need is something that can tell what flash is trying to get the browser to do, and how the browser is responding.
I think SO is a good place to get prompt and useful help / guidance. So, I'd ask here.
Other than that, I've been participating in these 2 groups for some time.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Flash_tiger/
http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
You'll find some nice and knowledgeable folks over there. Though I'm under the impression that lately these lists are not as active as they used to be a couple of years ago (but maybe that's just me comparing them to SO, which is a very different beast, with a different dynamic).
I mainly use stackowerflow nowadays, but here's two other forums (or a forum and a mailing list):
http://www.actionscript.org/forums/
http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
I like to use
livedocs.adobe.com
(this includes the adobe documentation online as well as tie-ins to forums),
gotoandlearn.com
(this is a great website for purely Flash AS2/AS3 problems),
and here... stackoverflow.com
I also do a lot of google searches, but I seem to come back to these three quite a bit more than the others.

Rails plugin to separate markup and logic, like Wicket or Effigy

I need a Rails plugin that gives you the chance to purely separate HTML and any logic in your views. Views should be classes reading the separate markup and replacing it with dynamic content where needed.
Basically Effigy from github does this.
I am looking for something like Wicket, but on the Rails base.
I can remember seeing a plugin from a Rails enterprise that does this. In my memory, it was better and seemed more mature than Effigy. But I forgot its name. It was something like "luxurious" or "delicious"; does anyone know what I am talking about? The plugin was created in a US Rails enterprise.
Any other alternatives would be much appreciated.
I feel that Effigy is almost OK, but it's hard to find tutorials or people using it properly, so I question its the maturity.
Well, if nothing comes up, I will go ahead with Effigy for now.
All right guys, I think I finally found what I was talking about.
The plugin is called "Erector"
The thing that I like about it, is that views are finally plain ruby objects and you can do everything you can usually do in ruby. I found couple of blogposts:
https://github.com/erector/erector
Why I always liked this idea you can easily see in this blogpost
I want to thank the creators for this.

Solution for comments for a Rails application

I'm introducing comments into a Rails application, and, being exceptionally lazy, I'm looking for a plugin to do it for me. I came across acts-as-commentable, but I didn't find much else. Acts-as-commentable seems fine, but it doesn't have support for threading.
Of course, it wouldn't be too hard just to home-brew the entire thing, but I think that surely commenting is such a common feature that there should be a canonical plugin to handle it. Can somebody with perhaps more Google Fu than me point me in the right direction?
This is acts_as_commentable_with_threading plugin which help you for threaded comment.
Link::
http://github.com/elight/acts_as_commentable_with_threading
The most lazy approach would be to use third-party commenting system like DISQUS : just copypaste a couple of javascripts and you're done.
Surely, it can't be used if your app has an authentication system of its own.
If you do not want to integrate a third-party service like Disqus, you have Juvia The Comments and Commontator. Also you can count with opinio as alternative. but only with Rails 3 and at the moment and as notice the development seems stalled.

Any Enthusiast code development sites to ask for someone to develop a small app?

I know this site is a great source for code help and snippets but I was wondering if anyone knows of any good site or forums where someone can help develop a small app.
The idea behind this is I need to make an app that does some custom stuff with twitter but lack the development time myself to do it, any suggestions?
