Hi Charles,<br>
<br>
I've made problems for you yet again!<br>
<br>
The transfer from 1.0 to 1.5 had problems and some accents, tildes and
other special characters: hence the ?s.<br>
<br>
You can register for the sgn-BR puddle and I can make you an editor so
you can fix them yourself. Or I should be able to take a look at the
transfer issue next week.<br>
<br>
Going forward, 1.5 uses Unicode and a stable IMWA. We shouldn't have
these problems again. (crosses fingers)<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
-Steve<br>

List,<br>
<br>
Hope everyone is well. I have SignPuddle 1.5 ready to go. You can use <br>
it online right now <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5">http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5</a><br>
<br>
Editing is a lot easier now. There is no special dictionary editors <br>
page. You can edit signs from any page if you have the right security.<br>
<br>
Once you register for a dictionary and log in, all of the signs you add
<br>
will be assigned to your username. This gives you the rights to edit <br>
the signs you've entered without being an editor for the whole
dictionary.<br>
<br>
If you don't register, all new signs will be linked with the computer <br>
you used to add the signs.<br>
<br>
I've transfered all of the 1.0 puddles. They will need some cleaning <br>
up. Not all of the special characters transfered correctly and some of <br>
the sign spellings are askew. But SignPuddle 1.5 uses Unicode, so all <br>
languages are fair game. If you want to be an editor for any particular
<br>
dictionary to help clean it up, let me or Val know. Or reply to the
list <br>
and we'll get it set up.<br>
<br>
SignPuddle 1.5 can have a multilingual interface. If you want to help <br>
translate the SignPuddle screens, reply and I'll create a user
interface <br>
puddle for your languages and give you the security rights to edit the <br>
UI puddle. The great part about the translation is that you use the <br>
same SignPuddle interface.<br>
<br>
Currently, the free and open dictionaries don't allow for image or
video <br>
uploading. This is something that Val and I are discussing. We'll see <br>
how it goes.<br>
<br>
I've given Val the first 5 PocketPuddles. It's very cool. For Windows, <br>
just plug and play. For Mac, it requires a few steps that are straight <br>
forward, but it reconfigures the built in web server and requires the <br>
use of the Terminal application.<br>
<br>
I'm working on the last few items of my todo list. Then I'll complete <br>
the documentation and the information will be a lot more organized than
<br>
this email.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
