<p>I believe this is actually the long term solution which is
happening by default. PT8 is headed in that direction anyways.
As I understand it, there's already an overlap in available
popular resources. Some of the less popular resources may never
end up in PT, though.</p>

<pre>Hi Nate,
This is a case where a decision made years (a decade, more?) ago is still
hurting our organisation, and I hate to think how much effort has been
made (both from SIL and from Logos' authors) making things (un)available on
this platform.
When the move to Logos (or libronix as it was called then) was first floated,
the company was planning to make a Linux version. I've been checking back
every few years since and it seems that the decision is 'we've decided it's
not commercially viable to make a version for Linux.'
According to <a class="m_-6585014921537743542moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=771" target="_blank">https://appdb.winehq.org/<wbr>objectManager.php?sClass=<wbr>application&iId=771</a> the last version working with WINE was Libronix 2.1c. Every version
after says that the wine compatability score is 'garbage'.
There is an online (web) version, if I read correctly that costs extra money.
I have no idea if the web version has all the TW resources available in it.
There is an Android version (64MByte download), I have no idea if running
that under some kind of android emulator might be a viable option.
I have no idea if it needs an internet connection to function.
I have no idea if it has all the TW resources available in it.

<pre>Last time I checked Logos has no plans to support Linux-bases OSes. With
Translator's Workplace based on it, and now I've learned that Le Bureau du
Traducteur is also based on it, this seems like it will soon become a
prerequisite before translators in my region would be willing to adopt Linux
(Wasta or Ubuntu).
I know the Wasta team has spent considerable time making Translator's
Workplace usable in Wasta, but since it's the Folio version I'm a little
worried about how long that will continue to be a viable solution. Can
anyone speak to that particular issue: the long-term viability of TW-Folio?
So I'd like to know if there's any movement, or hope, of making Logos work
reliably on Linux. If anyone has any ideas or leads, I'm willing to set
aside a little bit of time to contribute to this effort. I'm planning to
look into it more myself, but I didn't want to dive in without first seeing
if anyone else has experience with this.
Thanks,
Nate
