Binary SignWriting Alpha - Open Font License and the GPL

[Steve Slevinski]

Hi List,
 
With Val's help, I've put together a package of font files, GPL code, 
and design  specifications.  This design will replace the verbose markup 
language currently used by SignPuddle, but is 100% compatible with the 
SignMaker and SignText statndards.  It is possible to encodes sign 
language as digital information.
 
After I have the release version of Binary SignWriting, I will convert 
SignPuddle to the new character set.  Binary SignWriting is available in 
PHP and a MediaWiki plugin is planned.
 
I am working on an Internet Draft for the Coded Character Set known as 
x-ISWA:2008.  You can view the code pages online:
http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle/bsw_alpha/data.php
 
I am using Valerie Sutton's ISWA 2008 as the abstract symbol set.  An 
alpha version of her original font is part of this release and is 
available under the Open Font License.

Regards,
