<br>
The SignPuddle 2 data is safe and secure. I will be able to keep the server up and running. I will need to rebuild the server in the near future, but there are several options.<br>
<br>
You do not need to send money if you are unable. SignWriting, our tools, and our data are free to use.<br>
<br>
If you are able to contribute to our efforts, I have a Patreon campaign that supports the websites and my other efforts. I have a funding goal to reach of $300 a month by the end of this year. I am already halfway there.

<br>
In the future, Valerie will be creating a SignWriting Trust of sorts. There is no rush and more details will come later.<br>
<br>
So there is no need to worry. I wish I could stay full-time with SignWriting, but it is impossible without financial support. In the next week or two, I will receive an offer for full-time employment with a neurological research lab as a data manager. I
will probably start in April. I will work with SignWriting on Saturdays.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, if enough people join the SignWriting team on Patreon in the next two weeks, I could stay full-time with SignWriting. I think I bring value to SignWriting. Please share my story if you do too.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
-Steve<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you so much for all you have been doing over the years. We cannot thank you enough. Now I am a bit concerned, because I do not understand enough. The Norwegian dictionaries are currently in SignPuddle 2, and under editing. Do I need
to do anything to save the data? Do I need to send money? (I could manage to send some). I agree With you that SignWriting will grow in the futurue, so I have dedicated a lot of time and effort to this, even if I have been holding back somewhat lately due
to several concerns, but I would not like to see the data that are collected gone missing,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi SignWriting List,<br>
<br>
The year 2020 is turning out to be a great year of change for SignWriting.<br>
<br>
First off, if you know anything about Wikimedia or Wikipedia, please add <br>
your support to an individual grant I'm applying for to create the <br>
two-dimensional font. The community review is open until March 16th. <br>
Thanks!<br>

<br>
For 16 years, I was blessed to be able to work with Valerie Sutton <br>
through the Center for Sutton Movement Writing non-profit as a paid <br>
consultant. Unfortunately, excessive government paperwork and <br>
fundraising issues became a burden. We have closed the non-profit <br>
portion of the organization and the Center for Sutton Movement in now an <br>
all volunteer organization without a checking account.<br>
<br>
I'm still blessed because I still get to continue to collaborate with <br>
Valerie Sutton into the future. I believe in SignWriting and I think our <br>
13 websites are worth preserving and maintaining. To keep them up, I <br>
have assumed full responsibility for the financial hosting of the <br>
server. I'm happy to say that the current server costs are covered by <br>
the Patreon campaign I started last year.<br>
<br>
I plan to keep working with SignWriting on a part-time basis. I will <br>
have office hours on Saturday, central standard time.<br>
* 7:30 am Gitter Public Chat<br>
* 9am YouTube Live<br>
* 10:30 am Chat with Val<br>
* 1pm Server and Development<br>
<br>
In 3 weeks, chances are good that I may start a full-time job outside of <br>
SignWriting. These three weeks are very important because I need to <br>
rebuild the current SignWriting Server that hosts all of our websites. <br>
We will have a Simple SignWriting Server that only sends files without <br>
any server processing. We will have a Legacy SignWriting Server that <br>
supports PHP for SignPuddle 2 and SignPuddle 3 and others. Once the two <br>
new servers are built and configured, I'll shut down the current <br>
SignWriting Server. This will make sure the websites are up, stable, <br>
and running for the next few years.<br>
<br>
The year 2020 is a year of transitions, new directions, and letting go. <br>
The new direction is to embrace JavaScript for both the browser and the <br>
server with node. The standards are solid and I have several useful <br>
packages to share that are fully documented with online training <br>
available. Once I have the first three packages fully complete, I will <br>
start the react component library. Rather than trying to create a <br>
mutli-user platform for SignWriting, I'm going to focus on the <br>
foundation and offer tools to other developers so that they can use and <br>
create with SignWriting for their own websites and apps.<br>
<br>
The YouTube station will be called the SignWriting Stream. I will show, <br>
teach, and demo the Sutton SignWriting resources we've put together. <br>
The first episode is this Saturday. So far the channel is empty.<br>
