By your list, you look close to a beta.   Completion of the two items
you mentioned that need work or you're working on, the implementation
of the arrow symbol chooser in SWEditor, and a rudimentary Help file
for those testing would seem to put you there.   Some of your "not yet
implemented" items look optional that can be added during the beta. <br>
  </blockquote>
Thanks for the encouragement,  I guess if I did that I could get a Beta
much sooner.  Some of the functions work but are a little buggy.  For
example I can choose several symbols at once to move them around or
deselect one but sometimes it doesn't deselect the one it's supposed
to.  I was thinking that I should fix all of the bugs I know of before
I release a Beta.  What do you think?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Jonathan, I think it depends on the bugs.   As long as the known bugs
aren't critical to basic functions then you could release it with a
list of the known bugs to a group of registered beta-testers.  It's
really your call, though - whenever you feel comfortable with other
people testing and trying it out.<br>

I use Kubuntu, which is Ubuntu with the KDE desktop, whereas Ubuntu
uses Gnome.  Gnome is smaller than KDE and works faster on older
computers.  The KDE desktop is more Windows-like which appeals to those
moving over from Windows.  Ubuntu and Kubuntu have been the most
popular Linux distros for 3 years now and they both regularly update
every 6 months.<br>
  </blockquote>
I had a quick look at some article about the two.  Do you ever run into
cases where a program will only run on Gnome but not KDE or vice versa?<br>
</blockquote>
I haven't used the Gnome desktop at all and the few Gnome programs I
installed on the KDE desktop worked fine.  There's a lot of work done
and being done to provide compatibility between the two.  It's all
Ubuntu anyways, which is built from Debian. <br>

    I was hoping to release a beta, but I might just go ahead and
release an alpha so I can get more feed back earlier on in the
development progress.   Right now it won't run on Linux.  I am still
thinking of releasing it for Linux, but it depends how complex it
becomes to port it to Linux. I have noticed that the Mono project to
port Windows .NET programs to Linux is maturing well.  <br>
    Which flavor of Linux do you use/recommend?<br>

You're program list is very impressive.  I'd like to test it once you
get it to a point where you can release an alpha or beta.  Will it be
able to work on different platforms like Linux?<br>

Hi Maria,<br>
    My program called "The SignWriter Studio" has many features, one of
them being SignWriting Documents.  It has been a big project.  Some of
it´s goals have been faster sign input, keyboard input, standalone
program not needing internet, multi-spoken language to signlanguage,
sign lists to helps students learn new signs.<br>
    I am still working on the printing routines but the goal is that
the columns flow into the space available.  So it can do any size
page.  I have it working were it will accommodate and re flow to the
window size.<br>
          <br>
Here is an update of the progress of my program.<br>

            <pre wrap="">Hi Jonathan,

All the features mentioned are exactly what I need, but the most imp one
is that when you add a column of signwriting in the middle of the
document, all following columns move to accomodate it.  Like writing
spoken languages in Word, you can insert a paragraph wherever you like and
everything else moves to accomodate it (I don't know what this is called
in technical terms, I'm sure there is a word for it :)

So you are working on a program for signwriting documents?

What about the option of printing A5 is that possible in this program?

Thanks for your response,

Maria

              <pre wrap="">Hi Maria,
    I don't know of any other program yet.  Mine is progressing but
unfinished.  My document suite lets the document flow on the screen from
one column to the next.  I haven't done the printing part yet but was
intending to do it in similar fashion. So when you add some text, what
doesn't fit on one page flows to the next, etc.   The idea is also to be
able to have inline pictures within any of the 3 lanes of the column.  I
can also have gloss on the signwriting or not.
    Is this what you were wanting?  What other editing features would be
important for you?

Jonathan

                <pre wrap="">Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone on the list has experience transferring long
signwriting documents into another program (such as DocumentMaker) and
maybe could suggest another program which is a little more flexible?

DocumentMaker is very good of course, however I am thinking in terms of
very long documents and one limitation in DocumentMaker is the
following:
Say you have completed 50 pages, then whilst editing you realise you
need
to add another column somewhere inbetween, say at page 25, if you add
the
column there at page 25, all that follows does not change (because each
page is saved separately). It would be really good if there was a
program
that allowed for this flexibility.

Thanks to all,

maria
