Two George Washington University engineering students, Ian Balina and Asad Mahmood are revolting against dictionary powerhouse, Merriam-Webster, with the unveiling of the Leximo Dictionary Manifesto. This manifesto explains the principles and vision of Leximo.

The Leximo Team

The team consists of two co-founders, both students at The George Washington University. Ian Balina is a Social Media Maven, and Asad Mahmood has won several state spelling and science fairs - http://blog.leximo.org/2008/11/meet-leximo-team.html

Summary of The Leximo Manifesto:

1.   Formulate a vision in which Leximo is free and open to all users.
2.   Appeal to people who have an interest in world languages, culture and travel.
3.   Allow the contributions of users to directly translate into the advancement of Leximo.
4.   Bring together people of different ideologies, races, beliefs and cultures.

Leximo invites all others who support the principles of the Leximo Manifesto to join with us, and to find new ways to make this vision of a world social dictionary a reality.

The inspiration for Leximo was brought about by the present day archaic and old-fashioned selection of dictionaries on the web. This included dictionaries that were too scholarly, too cluttered, and most importantly lacked user interaction. Feeling the need to solve this dilemma, Ian Balina and Asad Mahmood decided to build a dictionary that would bring together the world’s cultures and languages by summoning the interactivity of today’s information age.
