Wow! What a nice project. I'm glad you used the SignWriting in Unicode (SWU) encoding. Thanks for sharing.
International sign language is an interesting topic with many possibilities. Using SignWriting to record sign language just makes sense.
Please keep us informed and let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
Regards,
-Steve

An international language should be unrelated to culture (and tradition), and therefore should not be “owned” by any particular community. In my opinion, IS has the potential to become such a language, for the benefit of everyone.</span></p>
