Good idea.It would be great to find music for kids (like classical
counting rhyme) (or contine in french). Where at least the lyrics are
public domain and find a singer to ogg them. Perhaps we could find old
recordings in public libraries but don't know where to search.

That's the reason why gcompris cvs is in gnome. The gnome translator
team has access to the gcompris po and update them regularly.
Perhaps, we could write a web page to explain the process and offer the
latest po to download.
Hilaire is setting up a CMS to maintain the ofset pages. At that time,
it will be easier to create and maintain the gcompris web site. This
part could be improved much.
