[OLPC-Games] Speaking of Poetry

[tekelsey at gmail.com]

Oh my GOSH. That is ridiculously wonderful. We have a hawaiian translator! melekalikimaka!

What does a hui hou mean?

And why is it that as soon as I have set foot in ohare, that I want to make cookies shaped like wookies to fund wacky wikis?

Well, I happen to work in Hawaii, so I can do the translation on that end. 
 
 A Hui Hou!

1) kids like Mad Libs. or at least when i was a kid we did

2) hawaiian should be the official language of the xo I think. because it is so silly sounding. it would be nice to have a hawaiian version of the magnetic poetry.  

for example: wiki, melakalikimaka, ooeiieekkiikkookwwwkiiiooe makawookiewaki surely means something.

 Beth -- Id be happy to help iterate words if that would be helpful

soudns like a wonderful idea. 

I could help make a spreadsheet so that the pairs could be translated into every language in the universe, including klingon and elvish. 

i refuse to work with esperanto unless william shatner gets involved. 

we would need a world editable spreadsheet though, and i dont know if zoho or google would be willing to do that. we might need to make it?

  Would anyone be interested in helping meto develop a Magnetic Poetry game in several languages? Something very simple, drag and drop, that would work on the Mesh Network so that it could be collaborative?
