Agreed, Nancy and Adam have done a great job on the ASL Wikipedia
Project on wfmlabs. Nancy is on a roll adding articles. We will
soon have 40 articles ready. This number of articles is a target
that was set for this project.<br>

<div>I'm curious, though, whether activity on the site on
wmflabs will qualify for the "develop an active test project"
criterion necessary for final approval by the WMF and creation
of <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ase.wikipedia.org">ase.wikipedia.org</a>
? </div>
</div>

<br>
The wmflabs site is a proof of concept and a repository for
articles. This site should not be evaluated directly because it is
impossible to automatically port the articles over to the
ase.wikipedia.org site.<br>
<br>
Before we can submit the ASL Wikipedia for approval, we must move
the articles over to Incubator. <br>

<div>Whether or not moving over to the Incubator is strictly
necessary for final approval of the project, it might make
sense to do so anyway at this point. </div>

I agree, as soon as Nancy finishes the 40th article. I think we can
start the migration from Wikimedia Labs to Incubator the beginning
of November. Then we can start to add new articles directly to
Incubator. Nancy, and others, will need to learn to use Incubator,
but it will be worth the effort and they are already familiar with
the general software.<br>

<div>Thanks to Steve Slevinski's gadget, </div>

<br>
And special thanks to Yair Rand for his improvements on the gadget,
we now have most/all of the required features. I just installed
Yair's latest updates on Incubator a few days ago. Here's the list
of what has been accomplished.<br>
* Page Titles in sign<br>
* Links in sign text<br>
* No special tags<br>
* Automatic style via CSS<br>
<br>
Yair's update added:<br>
* Vertical columns that flow to the right<br>
* User interface in sign<br>
* Tooltips in sign<br>
* Selection highlighting<br>
<br>
It really is amazing. It doesn't work in every browser, but it
looks beautiful in the supported browsers. Both Safari and Chrome
work on the Mac.<br>
<br>
We are doing great. This year or the next, I believe we will have
an official Wikipedia for American Sign Language.<br>
<br>
