SignWriting List<br>August 9, 2012<br><br>Hello Honza and everyone -<br><br>Shane wrote awhile ago:<br><br>>>> This is really the difference between SignWriting and HamNoSys.<br>>>> SiGML is<br>>>> based on HamNoSys, which is an analysis of the sign language, where<br>>>> SignWriting is a writing of the sign language.<br><br><br>So SiGML is HamNoSys, not SignWriting….<br><br>So that would require special software to write in SignWriting, with the purpose of creating HamNoSys SiGML code...<br><br>Our organization has never worked directly with the HanNoSys organization to create such a program. I have never heard of such a program.<br><br>But perhaps someone else has created a program like that?<br><br>I know Dr.Penny Boyes Braem and her colleagues are working with both systems…<br><br>Penny is no longer on the SignWriting List, but I would suggest writing to them - I will send you their email addresses privately
