Sign language projects on Wikimedia Incubator

[maria galea]

Hi Steve,
We may be interested in starting an LSM wikipedia in the near future.  Is
it easy to paste from SignPuddle to Wikipedia?
We have a few translated children's story books in SignPuddle - could we
transport them to Wikibooks in the future?
Thanks
maria
