Thanks Shane,
I'm planning on doing that when I can, but I've talked to some of the 
leaders of the Deaf community here (e.g., the chair of Deafness Studies at 
the University of Alberta), and they have been very negative about 
SignWriting.  Without their support, it's definitely going to be an uphill 
battle!
Thanks again,
Kelly Jo
