to wixi means to learn each others' language and grow multilingual

if you can't see twext, adjust contrast on your monitor repetitive twext can fade away marked up twext can communicate structure	wixi twexter wixi'd wikis get text twext.. twext texts provide meaningful, comprehensible input for language learners.. twext prints on good old paper.. wikis make twext easy to mix and share.. the OLPC is connecting kids learning many different languages.. wixi offers a learner-centric environment for kids to construct language learning..
	chunk method twext uses a simple method to associate chunks of text with chunks of translation.. the method works with regular text and also with lyrics to songs.. and may work between any of many languages: http://twext.com/method
press ESC to stop the animations, RELOAD to restart animations
xcroll may also be useful for regular mediawiki editing	xcroll input xcroll controls text and twext input windows, as well the live preview window.. controlling many windows with a single scrollbar has many potential uses.. old code runs demo at http://delyric.com/imagine
any language already in twexter can serve as source for translation to add another language.. so English can be source to add Cockney, or Español can be source to add Tagalog, Maya, Nauhtl, Zapoteco.. even Spanglish.. any of many languages, dialects and slangs can get twext.. if 30 languages play, 900 learning bridges are possible	multilingual we want it to be easy to add languages and dialects to twexter, so diverse groups can share ideas and learn each others' language.. but we also want it to be easy to exclude languages so our brains don't go whack.. so we're pointing toward a distributed twexter somewhere around maybe dodo data over http://twext.com/git
	moodling embedding twexter into systems like moodle and the xo sounds maybe more useful than dealing with a grand central system.. now we're working toward javascript library that wansta plugin to mediawiki, wordpress, moodle, olpc, etc http://twext.com/embed
	dodo data dodo data is a rough idea to store data in the filename. Why? Simple data in the filename may be easy to read and share, for both machines and humans.. ("filename" means URL, when multilingual idn enabled via punycode).. the dodo idea is to version control and distribute twext data so variable systems and peoples can easily use it http://twext.com/dodo
	delyric delyric is to learn language with lyrics.. if songs get into your heart then you can't get'em outta your head.. lyrics help us remember language, for a bunch of reasons, mainly because you might actually care.. maybe we can route around popular lyric suppression near http://more.read.fm/fair_use#citage
	mexico talleres linux has hired Gabriel Saldaña to help twext get real.. apparently there is suspicion that twexter may prove useful in educational systems here in mexico.. muchisimas gracias a gabriel, jergas, la jefa y a méxico pa'todo.. text also wants to get twext in http://twext.com/brazil
	scratch scratch helps kids learn programming by assembling commands to create multimedia games.. embedding twexter into scratch could be an simple, affective, effective way for kids to program some human language learning.. http://scratch.mit.edu
not strictly synxi but lovely mix of animated lyrics, video, sound here	synxi synxi wantsa print text as you speak it, like somekinda instamatic karoake text machine.. they say the BBC closed captions live, so mild synxi sounds doable.. wild synxi wansta animate emotive timed text and play with twext or whatever.. synxi wansta open up SLS, to make it really easy to layer timed text on top of shared video.. http://synxi.com
	storyasking storyasking doesn't need no fancy IDN SLS P2P VOIP MP3ID3 to teach language.. it just needs people who have feelings and imaginations and who like to communicate.. still, colingo, delyric, twext, scratch and synxi could all thread into somekinda StoryAsking game kids could make and use to learn each others' language http://storyask.cc/
	wixi wixi is a wiki that gets twext.. wikis are all about sharing and wikis are evolving.. for example, kaltura is exploring collaborative multimedia authoring on a wiki platform.. so down the road we can maybe wixi at http://wixi.tv
