    <p>And thank you, Valerie, for bringing SooSL to the attention of
      this list! I released the software and then ran away for a few
      days, so just getting back to emails.</p>
    <p>The project has been going for around 12 years in one form or
      another, but it never would have gotten very far without your
      symbols and hand photos. And yes, Adam Frost has had a hand (or
      two) in this project, so thank you Adam! And not forgetting Steve!</p>
    <p>Our best regards to you and all who are working to develop
      SignWriting!</p>
    <p>Timothy<br>

      <div class="">Thank you, Timothy Grove, for sending us updates
        regarding the SIL software SooSL. I am posting your message to
        the SignWriting List because I believe there are some who use
        SooSL. I know that users can choose to use SignWriting symbols
        in SooSL if they wish, and I believe Adam Frost's photos of
        hands are also used in the program. So thank you so much for
        including SignWriting in the SIL (Summer Institute of

                We are not expecting you to have problems, but projects
