Subject: Re: Additional Handshapes<br>
<br>
Hello Valerie, Adam and members of SWList,<br>
<br>
Indeed, this theme is the object of our research, because here in Brazil,<br>
Libras has many handshape that are not included in ISWA 2010, we are even<br>
working on the publication of the second volume of the book that makes this<br>
record with more handshape sent after the public consultation held in April<br>
2020.<br>
<br>
I will insert in our proposal a request for partnership in some Brazilian<br>
university that is interested in supporting us with a project with software<br>
developers to create an "add-on" program or other alternative to help in<br>
this regard.<br>
<br>
We are hopeful that we will soon have a solution 😊🙏<br>
<br>
Hugs!<br>
