Thank you for giving SignPuddle 2 software to the world as your gift. You have worked so many long years on SignPuddle and it is so wonderful to use online and also on computer desktops with the PersonalPuddle and the PocketPuddle - I am really touched by this gift and am so grateful to you for your ongoing collaboration and support. This I must say is one of the golden memories I will always treasure - realizing all you have accomplished and all you are continuing to do for the world- I know when SignPuddle 3 is ready it will be a very exciting experience to move on to a new era, but until that time SignPuddle is serving us all very well!

Hi SignWriting List,<br>
<br>
Here is my SignWriting report for December 2018. I updated two
servers, finish my presentation for the SignWriting Symposium,
documented the big idea, and offer everyone the SignPuddle 2
software.<br>
<br>
Server Update<br>
=========<br>
The servers are safe for another few years.<br>
<br>
I administer two sets of servers. The first is for the Center for
Sutton Movement Writing non-profit. This powers the SignWriting
sites, SignPuddle sites, and other websites in the Sutton Movement
Writing family.<br>
<br>
The second set of servers use the Wikimedia Cloud VPS. This month I
needed to rebuild the servers that support the sign language
Wikipedias on Incubator. These servers also support SignWriting for
users within the Wikimedia projects. <br>

SignWriting Symposium 2018<br>
==================<br>
I've finished my presentation for the 2018 SignWriting Symposium.
The "SignWriting Vision 2030" presentation page will be available
soon.<br>
<br>
<br>
The big idea on IdeaLab<br>
===============<br>
I created an idea page for SignWriting on Wikimedia IdeaLab. I
outlined the cultural, technical, and financial issues involved.
This is the scope of the problem as I see it and the solutions
available. The page is my initial draft without review. If you can
use MediaWiki software, consider endorsing or participating in the
idea. A talk page is available for feedback, review, questions, and
ideas.<br>

<br>
Closing out 2018 and SignPuddle 2<br>
======================<br>
In the spirit of the season and closing out 2018, I'd like to offer
everyone the SignPuddle 2 software. <br>
<br>
Here are the instructions for Windows. <br>
<br>
# 1) PersonalPuddle for Windows<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://signbank.org/signpuddle/downloads/puddle_win_2.0.zip">http://signbank.org/signpuddle/downloads/puddle_win_2.0.zip</a><br>
<br>
# 2) Patch for 2017<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://signbank.org/signpudd.../downloads/puddle_patch_2.1.zip">http://signbank.org/signpudd.../downloads/puddle_patch_2.1.zip</a><br>
<br>
# 3) User interface of choice<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/data/spml/ui12.spml">http://signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/data/spml/ui#.spml</a><br>
(# as resource number).<br>
<br>
# 4) One or more Dictionary, Literature, of Encyclopaedia
collections<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/data/spml/sgn33.spml">http://signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/data/spml/sgn#.spml</a><br>
(# as resource number).<br>
<br>
Download # 1 and unzip to the hard drive or to a large enough USB
drive.<br>
Download # 2 and unzip. Copy the individual files to the <b>puddle/www</b>
directory to replace the older files.<br>
Download any of files #3 or #4 and move these files to the <b>puddle/www/import</b>
directory<br>
-----------<br>
<br>
Now run the "Start_Server.bat" as administrator. This should be
available by using the right mouse button.<br>
If you want to use PersonalPuddle on your internal network, you will
want to let it go through the Windows firewall. You should be
prompted by the operating system.<br>
<br>
Once you start the server, a browser window should open. Otherwise,
open any browser and point to the URL: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://localhost">http://localhost</a><br>
<br>
When in the SignPuddle application, go to the "Import" button on the
left. You will need to import each of the files (#3 and #4) one at a
time. The import will take a few minutes for large files. Your
patience will be rewarded.<br>
<br>
Note that when importing the user interface, you will want to
replace the existing English user interface.<br>
--------------<br>
<br>
2018 was a great year and I look forward to 2019 and all of our work
together.<br>
<br>
Warmest Regards,<br>
-Steve<br>
