If we are to name them, then shouldn't we be using SignWriting for the
names? È ;-)<br>
I see a circular reference coming up here somewhere ...<br>

<pre wrap="">Bart, can you explain how the categories and sub-categories would be
coded without using numbers?

Well, it would go like this: take the very first hand from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.signwriting.org/archive/docs2/sw0147-sss2004-Category1.pdf">http://www.signwriting.org/archive/docs2/sw0147-sss2004-Category1.pdf</a>
than I suggest not numbering it, but refering to it as the symbol with
category: hand
group: index finger
symbolnumber: 1
variation: a number
fill: a number or maybe even better: a logical name: filled, empty, ...
rotation: a number between 0 and 360 (but not 360 for clarity)
How the pictures are named then is the same to us, a directory structure for
the groups and categories could do we think, it would reflect the tree
structure just fine. Hope this makes our proposition all a little more clear.
