Writing. I have been teaching handwriting, and the handwriting symbols have not
usually been taught with lines across them except as a shorthand for hands
horizontal rather than vertical. Having a hand with a slash does not
appear in the current SignPuddle and so my Ethiopian students are likely to be
confused. I use arrows to show directions where there are not other than
the four points of the compass. The 45 degree plane is not very well defined
on handshapes, so this has really confused me.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Hi Valerie, <br>
<br>
thank you so much for this answer! <br>
<br>
Just allow an additional question. Di you have any idea whatsoever when the<br>
new SignPuddle 1.6 will be online? <br>
<br>
Is their anything to fear about the signs that have been edited with the<br>
SignPuddle 1.5 software so far. The reason for my question - well you
know<br>
that a while ago there has been a major change with additional symbols in<br>
the symbol set. At that time a special "mouth symbol" got a different
number<br>
because a different symbol has been added. So lots of signs which use this<br>
"N" or "D" or "L" mouth got mixed up
and now I try to systematically fix<br>
this bug. <br>
<br>
I do not want to push it by any reason. I am just curious because
you<br>
mention tah a new SignPuddle version using all the symbols (graphemes) of<br>
the new International SignWriting Alphabet 2010 is going to be installed ...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Stefan ;-) <br>

Hello Stefan!<br>
Thank you for this message to Steve (?) - I am not sure if he saw this,<br>
since Steve is programming a new version of SignPuddle called SignPuddle<br>
1.6, which is different than SignPuddle 1.5...<br>
<br>
SignPuddle 1.6 is not finished yet, so we cannot use it yet, but Steve<br>
showed me a little bit of it today and it is going to be wonderful, when it<br>
is ready. It uses the new International SignWriting Alphabet 2010, and it<br>
will fix the link to SignMail, that we need so badly...SignText will be<br>
easier to view and it coordinates with future developments for using better<br>
looking symbols in SVG and so forth...<br>
<br>
Steve has also posted his internet draft encoding the ISWA 2010, and we are<br>
working towards Unicode for SignWriting this year -<br>
<br>
So the new SignMail is not here yet, but it will be coming -<br>
<br>
I will also write soon with new developments - Very exciting and positive<br>
time for all of us -<br>
<br>
Val ;-)<br>
<br>
