Hi Andre,<br>
<br>
If not for time and money, we could have a keyboarding application
right now. The SignWriter keyboard design was updated to the IMWA but
never implemented. Other than time, it would be trivial to update the
keyboarding specs for the ISWA 2008.<br>
<br>
After I finalize the first version of the open standards of
SignWriting, SignWriter should be rewritten with the new symbol set and
data model. Maybe we can start with SignWriter Java or SignWriter
Python, but I'm thinking that we'll have to start over. Perhaps
someone could update SW Edit? I heard it had promise.<br>
<br>
The new SignText will not initially use the SignWriter keyboard layout,
but a layout inspired by the VI editor. However, I'm hoping that
SignPuddle will use a SignWriter style keyboard well before 2012. <br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
-Steve<br>

If you want to start making notes for the ISWA 2012, please go ahead.
Valerie and Adam are documenting the ISWA 2008 so you'll be getting
more and more information to work with.<br>
<br>
The ISWA 2008 will not be changing. I highly doubt the ISWA will be
revisited in the near future. We have limited time and resources and
we are moving forward. Your attitude reinforces the idea that we are
not ready for Unicode yet unless people accept the idea that no writing
system is perfect and that knowledge can be gained by understanding the
imperfections. <br>
<br>
The ISWA 2008 was a labor of love. We already had a formal review and
that review ended last year. The ISWA 2008 is the current standard for
SignWriting.<br>
<br>
