Hi Everyone,

You may or may not have heard about the computer program "Miromaa" that
we have developed. For those that have not here is a quick brief:

Miromaa is a computer program which is aimed at empowering Indigenous
people to enable us to best utilise technology in the task of
researching, recording, reclaiming and disseminating our traditional
languages. It enables us to be hands on in the preservation and
revitalisation of our languages.

Well, we are proud to now give you all a sneak preview of Miromaa 3,
this is our major revised version developed on the .Net platform. The
program still has all of the great features of before but now with a new
fresher layout to make using Miromaa even easier.

The program enforces good archive practise and helps you gather any and
all evidences of language including, text, audio, images and video. You
can also use it to store your digitised documents for example pdf and
Word documents, Excel spreadsheets plus more.

It has a secure environment which can only be accessed by username and
password, it can help you work on multiple languages or dialects and it
also has a learning area where you can begin learning immediately.

The program can run on either a stand-alone desktop or on a network and
you are not just limited to using Miromaa only as the program has the
ability to export its data in various forms including SIL
Shoebox/Toolbox text file format, Lexique Pro text file format,
Microsoft Word, tables and more.
