[sw-l] Flemish Sign Language development continues...

[Shane Gilchrist Ó hEorpa]

Bart & Steven,

That's excellent about you open-sourcing your program as my work, the SLCB,
is very interested in using your website to start our NISL & ISL sign-banks
- we have discussed it with another organisation - as it is easier to get
funding if working with another organisation. Unfortunately the organisation
only saw the $$$ in their eyes - as we wanted to make it available to
everyone at no cost.

Do keep us informed - and maybe we can work together on developing the
signbank for NISL & ISL.

Shane
