Hi Val,
    I want to let you know that I have read over 
sw0145-SignSpelling-2004.pdf  and that I am still interested in reading 
"SignSpelling Guidelines 2007" once it is ready.  I know you have been 
very busy with many other good projects that will benefit the 
SignWriting community world wide and you continued support is very 
appreciated.  Do you have an idea when you expect "SignSpelling 
Guidelines 2007" to be ready?

P.S. I don't mind reading manuals at all as I enjoy learning even from 
books.  What I sometimes find frustrating is reading manuals and not 
coming across the information I need.   That is why I want to let you 
know that the links you regularly post on the list regarding various 
subjects have been very helpful.  Especially the recent ones regarding 
rotations and wrist rotations which have help clear up various aspects 
that I totally ignored before.  Once again many thanks.
