Hoi,<br>Adam's video was created for a conference that dealt with less and least resourced languages. Adam's video was and is a great introduction specifically to SignWriting and sign languages in general. I can and do mention sign languages and SignWriting in all my presentations. There is however no better introduction then Adam's eloquent introduction to the subject. <br>
<br>I am REALLY pleased that his presentation is now also on the SignWriting website. What we need are more videos like Adam's. Some may consider this marketing this is however exactly what we need. When we are ecstatic with the new functionality that Steve and Valerie produce, it helps a lot when there are short videos explaining what it is that has been done and why it is so important.. When these videos are always smaller then I think 10 minutes, they can also be uploaded to YOUTUBE.<br>
<br>For you who <b><i>use </i></b>SignWriting, SignWriting makes a difference. For me, SignWriting will enable Wikipedias and, it will help people in their education. This is a message I want to get out. You are the best at presenting such messages. I may be able to help in getting attention for SignWriting, and I will do my best to get your message out... What we want is a situation where Valerie would like to clone herself because she does not have the time to let it sink how rapidly SignWriting is adopted all over the world... This is something we can and should make happen because SignWriting is that relevant, and who does not love Valerie ?<br>
<br>Thanks,<br> Gerard<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 22, 2008 at 9:46 PM, Valerie Sutton <<a href="mailto:sutton@signwriting.org">sutton@signwriting.org</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
