[sw-l] Using the SW Convert java program.

SignWriting List
May 13, 2005

Hello Eloy!
Yesterday I had a 1-hour conversation on the phone with Steve and 
Dianne Parkhurst in Madrid...They have a fast DSL internet connection 
now....and I was able to discuss SignPuddle and the IMWA with them. We 
were all on SignPuddle while talking with each other on the phone...

Would you enjoy working with Spanish signs written in SignWriting on 
the web, Eloy? If so, you will find two Spanish signs in the Spanish 
Sign Language Dictionary right now, which Steve and Dianne added 
yesterday during our conversation...

Go to:
Spanish Sign Language Dictionary
http://www.SignBank.org/signpuddle/sgn-ES

Play around in some of the other SignPuddles that have more signs, like 
from the US etc...

http://www.SignBank.org/signpuddle

And then you can start adding your own Spanish signs anytime...I will 
be glad to help you...

Val ;-)
