Using the Kamusi Project Edit Engine

The Kamusi Project Edit Engine

NOTICE: THE EDIT ENGINE IS OFFLINE INDEFINITELY WHILE WE COMPLETE SOME PROGRAMMING CHANGES

Welcome to the Kamusi Project Edit Engine. The Edit Engine is a powerful tool that enables you to participate directly in the development of the Internet Living Swahili Dictionary. You are invited to use the Edit Engine to edit existing entries or to submit new entries. Your submissions will be reviewed by the project Editor and then incorporated directly into the lexicon available to Kamusi Project users around the world.

Before using the Edit Engine, you'll need to register with the Kamusi Project.

Getting Started - Editing the Kamusi in Three Easy Steps

First, open the Edit Engine. You can access the Edit Engine by clicking the "[ edit entry ]" link next to any word in the dictionary.

	Second, click the "Edit" button and make changes to the entries you select.
	If you need to add new lines, select a number next to "Additional blank rows."
	Make as many changes as you want, and then review your changes by clicking "Display changes."
	If you see more things you want to change, click "Make more changes" and keep on editing.

Third, click "Proofread changes" for a final chance to review what you've done. (If you want to make more changes now, you'll need to use the back arrow.)
Sign in now if you haven't already, and press "Submit changes." Your changes will now be sent to the editor for review, and will soon be incorporated into the Kamusi Project online dictionaries!
