Yeah, beta.apertium.org is something several of us had been discussing for
a while. It required a few pieces to come together just right: DNS
settings—which got set up in early 2017—and some automation for getting all
the modules downloaded and compiled, which Sushain did shortly before the
site went live.
The additional existence of Bernard's site certainly doesn't hurt. Is the
code for it available somewhere?

It probably would've been good to announce its existence on this list.
Sorry about not thinking to do that.

Well it sounds like Bernard's code does that. Is it available somewhere?
It seems like something worth making available for those interested in
legacy browser support or more traditional web design practices.
