Announcing: the SignWriting Image Server beta

[Rodrigo Bagni]

Hello Steve!!

Congratulations!!!! The more you work, the more people have a chance
to know SignWriting and use it.
It is very good to know that you made it open source. It is such a
great help for the spreading of information and knowledge.

Regard
Rodrigo
