WiXi
A wixi is a wiki with annotated text. It is intended to facilitate language learning.
Contentswixi twexterwixi'd wikis get text twext.. twext texts provide meaningful, comprehensible input for language learners.. wikis make twext easy to share.. the OLPC will connect kids learning many different languages.. wixi offers a learner-centric environment for kids to construct language learning.. http://twext.cc/pix/WixiJump.gif if you know sugar/python and wanna help kids learn, you could maybe help make this wixi program a real-world learning example: http://wixi.cc/hello_world

chunk methodtwext 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 any
of many languages: http://wixi.cc/twexter

xcroll inputxcroll now controls text and twext input windows, as well the live preview window.. controlling many windows with a single scrollbar has many potential uses.. a xcroll demo works (w/ firefox) now: http://twext.cc/twexter | |||

twexml outputtwexter creates xml or .twx output, with aim to print twext texts in flexible file formats for a plethora of publishing platforms.. one interpretation may work for wixipedia.. we're also asking for help from the OLPC team to make a javascript/xulrunner networked desktop application that might integrate with... yellow ?.. http://twext.cc/go/xo

multilingualby early june, we should be adding languages to twext.. Waqas Hussein of Redhive Labs in Pakistan delivered the basic twexter demo and is now making software to save and manage multilingual twexts.. the design allows languages, dialects and slangs to participate and includes basic wixi history/revert functions.. http://twext.cc/go/18 | |||
databasehttp://twext.cc/pix/WixiJump.gif what if 10 languages and 10,000 users wixi twexter? or 100 and 1,000,000? either way, there is a chance that rich data may emerge.. down the road, maybe part of http://omegawiki.org.. for now, we're looking at a trick to make filenames include independent database info.. big picture data design goal is to classify chunks by meaning before categorizing them as part of a specific language.. afaik maybe doable w/ http://wixi.cc/atoms | ||||
wixiwixi integrates twexter into the XO wiki, MediaWiki or any other wiki.. the source text might be fixed, but anyone can edit the translation the wiki way.. http://wixi.cc/wixi | ||||

learning language learningwixi is a idea for a very simple program that OLPC kids can use to learn each others language.. at little cost, we can deliver a new tool that can also test kids' capacity to "learn learning".. who knows, maybe kids can even teach know-it-all adults something about language learning :) worth a try? | |||
