Dear Bill,

First, as we are beginning a new year, I would like to take the opportunity
to wish you and the TuxPaint team a happy 2009.
Secondly, I am very happy to submit you an updated version of the Songhay
translation. 
I am also pleased to mention that this revision was undertaken following a
workshop my colleague Mohomodou had held recently in Mali on our
localization works with key players in promoting the Songhay language. They
were very happy and excited when they saw the screenshot of Tuxpaint in
Songhay. It has been decided thus to revise the translation to make it more
accessible to children.
The excitement was also relayed on local radio stations as when it comes
out, Tuxpaint will be the first ever kids software in Songhay and for all, a
tool that will allow kids in the region to be familiar with computers while
learning to be creative. We are confident that it will create more
excitements in the schools.

Please find attached the revised version of the Songhay translation.

Again, many thanks in advance.


Regards,
Abdoul
