Hi Stuart,
The problem is that no one has gone thru the SSS-2002 and compared it to
the IMWA for a symbol by symbol mapping. The basic hand shapes would be
easy to complete. The additional symbols have changed locations
significantly. They would take quite a bit of time.
Once we have the mapping, then we would need a conversion from the SWML
of SignEdit using the SSS-2002 to the SWML of SignPuddle using the IMWA.
Neither step should be very complicated, but the time required to
complete it is prohibitive. I know neither Val nor I have the time to do
the mapping between the symbol sets. This would be a great project, but
it is not trivial.
