Ca fait une deadline/étape qui correspond à peu près à nos échéances.
Je compte de toutes façons faire quelque chose du dispositif que l'on met en
place côté public-ations d'analyse et de visualisations sur des datasets
collectivisés. L'architecture vers laquelle nous nous dirigeons est très
intéressante pour sa flexibilité actuelle. Je vais produire des documents de
descriptions ouvertes allant dans ce sens (en restant discret sur les
propriétés propres de CorText).
Ca intéresse quelqu'un ?
