Grothendieck, before he disappeared, was working on a manuscript called "Les Derivateurs", which detailed the theory of derivators. Prof. Cisinski has done work with them as he mentioned in this postpost. However, most of his work is in French, and I was wondering if there are any typed up references in english (the nLab has written notes from a seminar, but that's it). I intend to read the references in French later, but could someone explain or give a reference that explains in English the definition of a derivator and the motivation for them?
