Hi Steve,<br>
I haven´t been able to test out SignPuddle 1.5 fully because I´m
not connected to the Internet very much at a time so the on line
applications are a bit difficult for me. But I didn´t have a quick
look around. Something I didn´t see was the SWML or Import/Export
buttons. Did you remove them from this version? I think that it would
be important to have them as they should be the best option for sharing
what we have written. I have seen user posting the URL but it seems to
get split up so readily in the emails.<br>
Not needing to use the bookmarks to save the document and being
able to describe a sign with a document sound like very nice features!!!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

List,

I've been busy working on SignPuddle 2. It's going well, however many
people like the original SignPuddle, so I created a special version
that will be available on the PocketPuddle. It's called SignPuddle 1.5
and I have a demo version available online.

It works almost exactly like the original SignPuddle, but it has
several major enhancements.
<br>
<br>
First, it is easy to create new puddles. All you need to do is enter a
title, subdirectory name, and select a graphic icon(gif or png).
<br>
<br>
Second, there is no longer a special dictionary editors page and no
need to log in. Signs can be edited from any page.
<br>
<br>
Third, SignText has been integrated with SignPuddle. In fact, each
sign can have a SignText document. You can use SignPuddle to organize
SignText documents, or you can use SignText documents to describe any
sign in sign language. There is no need to use bookmarks, just save
the document the same way you save a sign.
<br>
<br>
Forth, the Translation feature creates a SignText document that can be
saved to any puddle. However, it no longer does the automatic finger
spelling.
<br>
<br>
I'm very excited for this new version. I'd appreciate any feedback or
comment.
<br>
<br>
Regards,
<br>
-Steve
