<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thank you, again, Val! I always appreciate your
quick help!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The user interface is not the most important thing
at the moment as we are starting from the very beginning again and the course
will be in-depth, with many hand-writing exercises, so we won't
use SignPuddle very soon but I will have to correct (change) all
the signs that look incorrect. So, if there is no way
to automatically reverse the old changes, I will need to change the
signs one by one (though I am lucky enough to have saved all
the old version signs on the hard drive), so I was looking for the
"change" (Polish: zmień) or "edit" (edytuj) or "re-write" function. Or is
there any way to import png files to SignPuddle?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Some of the signs that need to be corrected
are:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>rok</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>godzina pierwsza</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>szóstka</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>pierwszy</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>tydzień -> the movement symbol here is now a bit
diffrent from that in the old sign; it seems I just don't know about all the
changes made to the IMWA, so I feel embarassed but please forgive me...
:-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Send an e-mail to my students? That's a great idea,
please do! We'll try to read it on one of the further classes.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>September 29, 2011</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hello Lucy and everyone -</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>First, congratulations, Lucy, on your SignWriting course in Poland. I am
so happy to learn about this and I am interested and happy to help...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Second, regarding SignPuddle - I am not surprised that there may be some
old issues...both with writing signs with the ISWA 2010, and also new software
issues...plus I never even finished the Polish User Interface - You were so
kind to give me the Polish words that needed to be installed, so that you had
the icons you needed in the Polish spoken language, and the job is only half
done - so I feel slightly embarrassed over the messy look of the Polish icons
-</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So let's clean it up - we will take it one step at a time -</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>For me, I will find my old notes that you gave me for the Polish User
Interface and focus on fixing the look of the icons and making sure Polish
users understand the commands -</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>And I need to know two things from you....What do you mean by the Change
function? - I am not sure what you mean...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>And can you give us the names of a few of the signs that you want to
re-write in the Polish dictionary? Then we can look them up and give you ideas
as to how we would write them...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>No worries - we will get it all done -</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>And thank you for posting to the List - Please send your students my best
wishes - If I send them a SignMail in ASL signs, do you think you could print
it out and share it with them? I realize they may not understand the ASL, but
it would be fun nonetheless, trying to figure it out....</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Val ;-)</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello List,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Do you remember the EU funded SW project being
implemented in Poland since last year? Now it's time for the next stage - a
regular SW course for deaf high school students. I started it today. My
Tarnów group comprises 8 students aged 14-17. The course is to comprise
30 lessons (classes) 45 minutes each. I am to give 2 classes each
Thursday.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>There is a similar course conducted
simultaneously in a Krakow high school for the deaf by one of the hearing
teachers, to whom I taught SW last year. She, together with some peers, have
developed a SW textbook based on the American materials we got from Valerie
but we have now a problem because they've used signs from the Polish
SignPuddle and there are errors in signs that include thumb symbols
(e.g. the sign for rok = year). I think the errors are due to some IMWA
changes you have made meanwhile, that is, during the time period I
didn't use SignPuddle (no time & motivation etc.). I will have to
improve all such signs. Is there a way to "automatimally" change them
to their former forms? And I think I have again the problem with
editing the signs even if I am logged in... When I tried to do it a few days
ago, I could see different functions (translated to Polish, thanks, Val!)
but I couldn't find the "Change" function, hmm...</FONT></DIV>
