Talk:WiXi
some previous talk at Talk:Twext.. also, someone added a similar system:
similar systems
This is similar to ruby annotation.
ruby annotation
- http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/unicode-example-ruby.html <- any better link?
OmegaWiki
A multi-language dictionary is being developed by wikimedia as a future replacement for the current single language wiktionaries. A beta of the software is online at [[1]]. Would this help?
- yes much thanks! including all languages in one database will help wixi a lot.. omegawiki also discusses annotation.. omegawiki (formerly wiktionaryz) link now updated at http://wixi.cc/integrate.. thanks
This needs review by a doctor!!!
This page needs to be reveiewed by a pediatric doctor and also by an eye specialist. The process of refocusing used by this system, will put strain on the readers' eyes. Since children are still in thr process of physical development this may be especially DANGEROUS for them. These pages should be removed from the wiki unless and until this is proven to be not harmful to the children.
computer vision syndrome
maybe so.. it may also be prudent to remove this entire wiki and while at it, this entire laptop project: The American Optometric Association here says children are especially vulnerable to "Computer Vision Syndrome" because:
- kids use electronic display gadgets for long hours
- kids have adaptive idea of what's normal (they don't notice if their vision blurs)
so it may be that a fraction of olpc users (with or without wixi) will suffer from eye damage.. note: above link recommends minimizing Computer Vision Syndrome, in part, with REGULAR REFOCUS (on objects more distant than the screen).. meanwhile, "refocusing" is consistently cited, not as a "strain" but rather as an exercise to strengthen eye muscles..
