(I'm hosting it at Google Drive until I can figure out a better location.) It's written in javascript and should work in all major browsers. The script is still a work-in-progress, and doesn't have all of the symbols yet. Many of the symbols are not in the best locations (partly because I don't understand what all of the symbols mean), and there's probably going to be a lot of bugs in the current version. Please take a look, test it out, and give lots of feedback. Happy typing. :)</div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote></blockquote><br></div><div>----------</div><div><br></div><div>Hello Yair!</div><div>There is so much to talk about in your message, but I just had to jump to the section in your message about your new development…a way to type SignWriting with a keyboard design… Thank you for taking this new idea upon your shoulders. Maybe we can host it on <a href="http://SignWriting.org">SignWriting.org</a>, or <a href="http://SignBank.org">SignBank.org</a>? Would that be feasible? Or maybe it really belongs on Wikimedia in the future… But we will be happy to host it if that is good for you...</div><div><br></div><div>As you know years ago we developed a way to type in SignWriter DOS, and I noticed you plan to have a Fingerspelling mode, just as we have in SignWriter DOS. I can give you the Fingerspelling mappings for around 17 sign languages, which you will need sooner or later… </div><div><br></div><div>May I show you our symbol design from the SignWriter DOS keyboard, so you can see what all the symbols mean? I believe that will help, even if you do not use our design, you can at least learn from it…</div><div><br></div><div>But take a look at this new way of tying SignWriting, everyone - I think this has potential -</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://806e8abcad89c3043886d9f62a7903edbba39fa1.googledrive.com/host/0B1Pz4n6wXAfvT18yOTFoSE5Sa2s/SWKB.html">https://806e8abcad89c3043886d9f62a7903edbba39fa1.googledrive.com/host/0B1Pz4n6wXAfvT18yOTFoSE5Sa2s/SWKB.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>Yair Rand SignWriting Keyboard</div><div><br></div><div><img height="226" width="781" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" apple-inline="yes" id="4B0125F6-D000-4D3F-AC02-A5F7E25BF2CC" src="cid:BF446B7E-BCA0-4AE9-A3A0-D150C1125F20"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Val ;-)</div></body></html>________________________________________________
