Extending Ve’rdd for Apertium Needs

This proposal is targeted to the task named "A Web Interface to expanding dictionary lemmas integrate with GitLab/GitHub". As I have already conducted a great deal of work on a dictionary editing interface (named Ve'rdd), my goal would be to integrate my system better with Apertium. This will require implementing new Aperium specific data fields and information structures, but more importantly developing a synchronization feature. Advanced users will prefer using XMLs directly, but non-technical users will need a user interface. For this reason, I would propose a Git based integration, where Git versioning and conflict management can be exploited to keep both ends of the system, the GUI and the XML, in sync to ensure that all editors have the most up-to-date version available at all times.
