Hi List,<br>
<br>
I've updated the SignWriting MediaWiki Plugin (SWMP). You can view
the test wiki online:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.signbank.org/wiki">http://www.signbank.org/wiki</a><br>
<br>
MediaWiki is the software behind Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and more.
The SWMP is an extension for MediaWiki.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SignWriting_MediaWiki_Plugin">http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SignWriting_MediaWiki_Plugin</a><br>
<br>
There are several sign language projects for Wikipedia and
Wiktionary that have been "Verified as eligible".<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages#Open_requests">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages#Open_requests</a><br>
<br>
The next step for these projects is to "
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
<span style="">develop an active test project</span>".<br>
<br>
Currently, the SWMP allows the viewing of SignWriting within a
MediaWiki install. Sign data can be copied from SignPuddle and
pasted into the MediaWiki software.<br>
<br>
The purpose of the extension will be to run on the various WikiMedia
Foundation servers.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.wikimedia.org/">http://www.wikimedia.org/</a><br>
<br>
I am actively pursuing this goal and hoping for the best.<br>
