A small report of our last meeting:
- we talked about the design of the application. Some work has to done
in order to understand how cooperative activities work on XO.
- we browse the existing code of Magic Words in order to understand
the software architecture. Regarding the vn translation, there is just
one file to translated, so it should not be too difficult to do it
hopefully. There is some problems with fonts for vietnamese that we
need to fix.
