<DIV>Looking at your Flemish & Walloon sections brings up an interesting
use of Sign Language, that of the Society for Creative Anachronism. The
SCA is a medievalist recreationist group that uses ASL and some signs from
other languages in a medieval court setting. One of the areas that is
most useful to us is in "name signs" for specific groups. These are
based, whenever possible, on the heraldry of the group, so, for example, An
Tir is a lion rampant, which would be ASL [Lion + claw forward], Trimaris is
[3 + water + waves]. Would it be possible to get an SCA SignPuddle
section set up so that we can load this set of "special interest signs" into
it? </DIV>
