Hi Adam,<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, it's a 2 step process right now.<br>
<br>
The first page converts BSW 2008 to BSW 2010:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://signbank.org/iswa_dev/convert/example.php">http://signbank.org/iswa_dev/convert/example.php</a><br>
<br>
The second page converts BSW 2010 to BSW 3:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://signbank.org/iswa_dev/convert/bsw3.php">http://signbank.org/iswa_dev/convert/bsw3.php</a><br>
<br>
Section 4 of the conversion document links to both pages.<br>

<br>
<br>
Speaking of conversions, building on the idea of encoding the symbols,
but not the layout, I've created 2 different markups that will be able
to use my proposed Unicode implementation. One Cartesian and the other
Polar. These markups can be created from any SignPuddle data. <br>
<br>
If we consider "Hello world." in ASL...<br>

<br>
The Cartesian markup uses XY coordinates, where the coordinates
represent the top,left of the symbol position.<br>

The Polar markup uses degrees and distance from the center of the sign,
where the coordinates represent the center of the symbol position. 12
o'clock is 0° and increases clockwise. So 3 o'clock is 90°, 6 o'clock
is 180, and 9 o'clock is 270. It may be very interesting to analyze
the Polar markup.<br>
