<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks Valerie! It's not so much that I want to develop an efficient or QWERTY keyboard, just that I was curious whether Yair started from one of those principles. :) <br></div>Like you, I've used differently arranged keyboards in different countries and I imagine it's mostly a matter of developing habits that make typing efficient. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 21, 2015 at 11:47 AM, Stefan Woehrmann <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stefanwoehrmann@googlemail.com" target="_blank">stefanwoehrmann@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi - I'm enjoying the presentation from home.

how to ask questions live (and I remember the difficulties caused last
year when too many people tried to participate at once), so I thought
I'd post questions here, to be answered later at people's convenience.<br><div>So,
Yair, this is really great. A quick question: in setting up the
keyboard, how did you decide where to place different elements on the
split board? I'm interested in the physical skill/habits involved in
typing. Given that this is a different type of writing system, I'm
wondering what research you might have done to come up with a layout
that might be physically efficient, or perhaps intuitive for those
accustomed to using a qwerty keyboard, or whether there were other kinds
of considerations.<br></div>Thanks!</div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 30, 2015 at 10:59 PM, Valerie Sutton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:signwriting@mac.com" target="_blank">signwriting@mac.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">SignWriting List<div>June 30, 2015</div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:5C3D7D7D-D3E7-4B08-B49B-63600ACCAA5E" height="144" width="144"></div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(0,86,214)"><b><font size="4">SignWriting Symposium 2015</font></b></div><div style="margin:0px"><br></div><div style="margin:0px">12 presentations from 8 countries: </div><div style="margin:0px">Brazil, Canada, Germany, Nicaragua, Portugual, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, USA</div><div style="margin:0px"><br></div><div style="margin:0px">Broadcasting 3 presentations a day, for 4 days.</div><div style="margin:0px"><br></div><div style="margin:0px"><span style="color:rgb(0,86,214)"><b>Day 1: </b></span><span style="font-size:18px">July 21</span></div><div style="margin:0px"><b>Session 1: </b>CANADA: Yair Rand</div><div style="margin:0px"><b>Session 2: </b>SAUDI ARABIA:<b> </b>Mohamed AbuShaira & <span style="color:rgb(20,25,35)">Abd elraroof Mahfooz</span></div><div style="margin:0px"><b>Session 3: </b>USA:<b> </b>Stephen E.
