#Kusamea tskxe - The Understanding Stone

Nì'ul kame tskxe. Poru ting nari. A rock understands more. Look at him. - Tsu'tey

##About This is a project to develop better computational tools for the language Na'vi, constructed by Paul Frommer. While there are a variety of tools already available for Na'vi, there are few that are aimed at being interoperable and completely open source. All work here will be done completely open source, on a CC Attribution Share Alike license.

##Joining in

There will probably be a LearnNavi thread as soon as there is something non-trivial here. This started with a suggestion on the G+ LN Community thread.

Feel free to join in! Send me a request.
