First Thank you for the links I will start
looking at them right now.
What you give me for Akka is what I want as 
'technology'. I want to let any programmer know how 
to start programming in one of these projects and
that is exactly what I have mentioned in QT when
I say 'use setReverseLayout for RTL widgets'. This
is small instruction which will give any programmer
a keyword to start searching at QT documentation.
Also the procedure of translation is very important
and thank you for the link.
The dates and history are only for my doctor :) and
people always ask for them only for Knowledge. (You
may
find that you always say to every one that Linux
has started by Linus on the 90's. He may not benifit
from this but only for Knowledge).
