Using the Kamusi Project Edit Engine

The Kamusi Project Edit Engine
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.
