SignPuddle and SignText</DIV><DIV>Steve is working on some cool new versions of SignPuddle and SignText, that should be coming in a few months...The new developments will not only fix old problems, but will solve them in an important new way that paves the groundwork for future programming...Thank you, Steve, for your hard work and magical programming...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>2. SignBank</DIV><DIV>SignBank is being improved by programmer Todd Duell to work with the new FileMaker Pro 7.0 and 8.0 programs. This is excellent, because this means that later SignBank can receive data from SignPuddle and SignText...and the three programs will inter-relate with each other. So 2006 should produce three programs for SignWriting that work together: SignPuddle-SignText-SignBank.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>3. Bible Translations</DIV><DIV>In 2006 people have been busy writing Bible passages in SignWriting! There are several projects now...not only in American Sign Language (ASL) but also in other signed languages as well...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Regarding the ASL Bible passages that are King James version, in SignWriting, you can read them and download them online.
