The team have been doing a great job!

This morning they mocked-up page designs, and Emanuil Tolev worked with Kai Segrud’s code to make some functional areas. They are excited about Amazon Translate as a tool to be completely language agnostic throughout (i.e. I as a user can type in any language and it is instantly translated - displayed to readers in language of their choice).

They now have a working version of the reviewing page and part of the team are adding automatic translation, whilst the rest work on mock-ups.
