<DIV><SPAN class=706545502-15122004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>A few
thoughts... The 5 finger hand group (Group 01-05) contains 50
symbols. Instead of combining this group with another, it should probably
be split. This is what Val has done when she designed a keyboard layout
for the IMWA (sss-2004). She divided this group into 3. She also
uses the top row number keys for additional space.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

that you have "Lanes" on the keyboard. How would you have that

On your page, I see that you are using the image.php script to create
SignWriting. Looks good.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Keyboard<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Hello all!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have placed on my website the set-up for a keyboard for the IMWA. <A
href="http://www.freewebs.com/frostvillage/mysignwriting.htm">http://www.freewebs.com/frostvillage/mysignwriting.htm</A> This
is just a thought of how it could look. I know that I will have to explain how
I have merged groups. I might have to do that at a later time. The
reason for it is so that there is enough room for the function keys on the
home keyboard while keeping at minimum the keystokes to get a desired symbol.
Right now it is only two to three keystrokes. Any thoughts?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
