Hi,

Thanks for your interest in GCompris.

You mention having created 4 major pygames, what are they?

Good idea, I'd love to have this in GCompris.

As far as I understand, Origami is a manual activity. I don't see how 
you can introduce this in GCompris.

A dictionary by itself is interesting but out of scope for GCompris. It 
is why better to approach wiktionary for that.
http://www.wiktionary.org/

You need to better detail each activity you plan to implement so that I 
can see how far you want to go and how long it would take.

Well, translations must be done through the gnome translation teams. You 
must contact the maintainer for your language and propose them your 
translation update.
BTW, I could not see a Pull request.
