I’m a software developer in the German delegs project, where we develop a
web application for writing and managing bilingual SignWriting documents. I
hope you’ve already heard about us. If not you’ll find more
information on <a href="http://www.delegs.de"><font size=3 color=black

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>I’m also a student of computer science at the
university of Hamburg, and I’m currently working on my thesis. The topic
of my thesis is a sign editor for the iPad. It’s a tool to create new
signs in SignWriting and edit existing ones. So basically for the same purpose
as the sign maker, which you know from SignPuddle. The app takes advantage of
the modern way to interact on a touch device to improve its usability. It uses
the backend of the delegs-Editor, so signs created and edited with the iPad app
can be used in the delegs-Editor. Delegs procures its signs from SignPuddle.
Therefore the iPad app is also connected to SignPuddle in one direction, as you
can use signs of SignPuddle in the app. The other direction is not supported
yet. Meaning new signs or editing to signs you’ve done in the app will
not appear in SignPuddle (Hopefully one day they will).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>The app is still being developed at the moment. So
unfortunately it is not available at the Apple App Store yet. I’ve
attached a few screenshots of the app, so you can get a first impression. I’ll
let you know when the app is available in the App Store, so you’ll be
able to download it and try it out. Until then I’m open to questions and
all kind of feedback. </span></font><font size=2 face=Wingdings><span

In order for SignWriting to be supported for texting, it would have to<br>
be supported directly by Apple — which seems unlikely to happen. But<br>
it *would* be possible to create an iPhone app that was dedicated to<br>
SignWriting, which wouldn't need any official recognition by Apple<br>
apart from normal approval in the app store.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I am a programmer by trade, but I haven't done any iOS programming<br>

not do justice to a SignWriting app until I've learned both ASL and<br>
SignWriting better first. :)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

On the other hand, I do have a lot of professional web development<br>
experience and would consider making a smartphone-friendly version of<br>
the SignPuddle website. (The site does work on my iPhone's web<br>
browser, but it could definitely be a smoother, easier experience.)<br>
Would you be interested in that?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
