Merry Christmas to you all

SignWriting List
December 24, 2009

Hello Gan!

Welcome to the SignWriting List!

Great to see a message from you, on the SignWriting List. Your project  
sounds really amazing...Imagine wearing a glove or a suit of clothes,  
and as you sign, the gestures and signs are written in  
SignWriting...That really will be an accomplishment...

And to inform our List members...Gan has been communicating with me  
privately about this project. Gan has SignWriter DOS working on DOSBox  
right now, smile, and has been working with an old document, Frosty  
the Snowman, which was written with SignWriter Java I believe...back  
around 1999...an entire decade ago!

Frosty the Snowman
http://signwriting.org/library/children/frosty/frosty.html

and it is this specific page that Gan and I started to discuss:

Frosty page 1
http://signwriting.org/library/children/frosty/frosty01.html

As you can see, this document is written horizontally, from left to  
right. If you go to the third line, second sign, what does that sign  
mean? I believe it was the author's sign for "going outside" or  
"leaving the house" or "came out"? I believe that could be written  
better, but first I want to be sure I am correct in my  
assumption...any opinions from List members?

Anyway - Merry Christmas everyone -

2010 is going to be an amazing year...

Val ;-)
