New 10 Handshape in SignPuddle now!

[Ingvild Roald]

Hi Charles and all,

we have to remember that we have two viewpoints to choose from (this has 
nothing to do receptive or expressive), the *forward* view and the *bird's 
perspective*. When we write the *forward* view, the hand symbol is whole, it 
is not broken. When we write the *bird's pesrpective*, the hand symbol has a 
broken line. Shade in *bird's perspective* means back of hand down, 
half-shade means back of hand to the side (or forward or back, depending). 
So you cannot go by shade alone, you have to see shade *and* 
whole-or-broken. Thus some of the symbols in this drawing are wrong
