SignWriting List
<div>September 3, 2013</div>

</div>
<div>Hello Claudia and Fabrizio!</div>
<div>This is fabulous news, to have a fourth computer program for
SignWriting that is modern and up-to-date and still being
developed - THANK YOU to you both for making this possible.</div>
<div><br>

Yes, this is truly amazing. I look forward to future developments.
It appears the current editor is Flash based. Is that right? I had
trouble on the mac side. I didn't check Windows yet.<br>

<div>It is good for SignWriting that it works differently than the
other three programs - Each program has its own style and brings
a new way of thinking to users. Our SignWriting community is
very fortunate to have choices…</div>

Agreed. The international community is fortunate to be able to
learn from each other.<br>
<br>
A point of clarification. SWift does not use the ISWA 2010
heirarchy, but rather the design of the symbol glyph images. I've
browsed through Claudia's paper and seen the changes, additions, and
reorganization to the structure. She is very faithful to the ideals
of Valerie's symbols and I really appreciate the respect for the
script. I'd love to have a conversion file(s) to transform between
the ISWA 2010 character set and the SWIFT encoded set, but I am not
sure if a bi-directional conversion is possible. I assume they are
using Cartesian Coordinates, but a human analog framework is implied
in the design of SWift and I have not seen the test data.<br>

<div>SignPuddle</div>

<div>SWift</div>

<div>Wow!</div>

All four use the SignWriting symbols and support the script, but I
do not believe SWift uses the same symbol encoding as the other
three. SignPuddle, Delegs, and SignWriter Studio all have a common
character encoding and can freely share data. <br>
<br>
Very exciting time.<br>
