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>
