It is hoped that the move to standardise web translations of sign language will allow for better documentation of (particularly global) hearing-impaired issues and culture; a MediaWiki extension that could power a whole Wikipedia written in sign language is currently being developed by Slevinski."</blockquote><br></div><div><br></div><div>Very cool!</div><div><br></div><div>Val ;-)</div><div><br><br><span></span><span><img height="81" width="26" id="a39dabee-20eb-4db0-9829-b72b85f6abc3" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:5837D5BC-3CA6-4CB3-96ED-C15CEB4844A6"></span><br><br><br><br>Valerie Sutton<br><a href="mailto:Sutton@SignWriting.org">Sutton@SignWriting.org</a><br><br>SignWriting<br>Read & Write Sign Languages<br>http://www.SignWriting.org<br><br>SignPuddle Online<br>Write SignWriting in the Clouds!<br>Documents, Dictionaries, SignMail<br>http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle<br><br>SignWriting Wiki<br>Wiki-style Articles in Sign Languages<br>http://www.signbank.org/wiki<br><br>SignWriting List<br>Technical Support: Ask questions...<br>http://www.SignWriting.org/forums/swlist<br><br>SignWriting Literature Project<br>Writing Literature in Sign Languages<br>http://www.SignWriting.org/literature<br><br>SignWriting Encyclopedia Projects<br>Writing Encyclopedias in Sign Languages<br>http://www.SignWriting.org/encyclopedia<br><br>SignWriting Sponsors Forum<br>Help Educational Non-Profit Organization<br>http://www.SignWriting.org/forums/sponsors<br><br>SignWriting Shop<br>Books, DVDs, Lessons, Services<br>http://www.SignWriting.org/shop<br><br>Deaf Action Committee For SignWriting<br>Center For Sutton Movement Writing<br>a US educational nonprofit organization<br>PO Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038, USA<br>Tel: 858-456-0098 Skype: valeriesutton<br><br>SignWriting on Twitter<br>http://twitter.com/signwriting<br><br>SignWriting on YouTube<br>http://youtube.com/signwriting<br><br>SignWriting on Facebook<br>http://facebook.com/SignWriting<br></div><br></body></html>
