A wixi is a wiki with annotated text. It is intended to facilitate language learning.

repetitive twext can fade away marked up twext can communicate structure if you can't see twext, adjust contrast on your monitor	wixi twexter wixi'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.. 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 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 any of many languages: http://wixi.cc/twexter
press ESC to stop the animations, RELOAD to restart animations
xcroll may also be useful for regular mediawiki editing	xcroll input xcroll 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 output twexter creates xml or .twx output, with aim to print twext texts in flexible file formats for a plethora of publishing platforms.. one interpretation may integration may be a wixipedia.. another way to wixi may be XO writing activities, including lyrics for tam tam and/or cartoon balloons for scratch games.. http://twext.cc/go/xo
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.. even Spanglish.. any of many languages, dialects and slangs can get twext.. if 30 languages play, 900 learning bridges are possible	multilingual bid now: earn $2500 to deliver unique, useful, new and free WiXi software building on the basic twexter demo, enabling us 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
	database 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
	wixi wixi 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
	delyric wixi can grow to help anyone, including OLPC kids, turn popular parts of popular songs into fun ways to construct language learning with visualized, twext translated, legal and transformative "fair use": http://wixi.cc/citage
	lucha libre UNAMESCOMCICESIME UPIICSACELe ¡banda! ¿quién es el jefe de los jefes? ¿el mero mero? ¿quién va a entregar WiXi y ganar tantos usuarios? sencillo: con PHP, la Wixipedia.. Python, la XO.. con ID3vx, todo mundo MP3.. poco a poco, muchos usarios, muchos sistemas, mucho aprendizaje.. ¡y ya! ¿para qué esperar? http://wixi.cc/lucha-libre
	learning language learning wixi 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?
	€30K .nl free software developer? opportunity: get paid to code free software for a large new user base.. digital pioneers round 14 grant are due 30 Nov 2007.. free software developers can apply to earn up to €30K making twext work with wikipedia and/or games like scratch earn many users extend a useful tool free software get paid digitial pioneers http://wixi.cc/dp13 <- proposal started
	$2500 $2500 is now available to pay the right developer to deliver a basic multilingual wixi interface specified at http://twext.cc/go/18 .. if you hack free software and want to do this thing, bid here..
Summer_of_Content_2007 deadline 12 aug	summer of content little kids using the olpc might like wixi, but might love making games that include text twext.. the result for olpc kids might be more comprehensible input via fun, image-rich interactive contexts that the kids create.. looks like sooner or later, there might even be some finding available: see StoryAsking
	scratch scratch help kids learn programming by assembling commands to create multimedia games.. adding twext or wixi to scratch could be an simple, affective, effective way for kids to program some human language learning.. http://scratch.mit.edu
	storyasking kinda ruff but potentially tuff, "storyasking" invites TPRS teachers (and their listserve to use wiki technology to develop and share an open, evolving, already effective language method.. informed by TPR Storytelling practices and getting text twext, kids might use something like Scratch to involve each other in some fun and games, which can also help them to learn each other's language..
