  Another productive evening of coding, almost ready to share! 

  We had another excellent and productive evening of coding, once again meeting at Twitter’s HQ in San Francisco (one of the benefits of having two Twitter engineers on our team!)  Our goal was to to try to get the project launched but there remain a few outstanding issues to finish resolving.  Stay tuned!  (Want to keep up on the progress?  Follow our commits on Github).

  CS Hackathon at Twitter HQ “Can we translate Science and Health into Chinese?” – February 4, 2014 

  

  We were blessed to be able to meet at Twitter HQ (in their main community meeting area) for our hackathon on Feb 4.  The space was quite neat, the food was delicious and we made some excellent progress on the Ruby on Rails app we’re building to help translate Science and Health into Chinese.  The app isn’t ready for release yet, but if you want to see what we’ve been up to on it, you can git pull it from here: https://github.com/CSKit/cskit-translator
