<div dir="ltr">Hi Uta,<div><br></div><div>I was just thinking about the hand groups that are labeled with numbers 1 to 10, and those numbers' handshape are in American Sign Language (ASL). As an ASL user, it's been a great reference point for me to look up and find a specific handshape as I write the signs. </div><div><br></div><div>However, I just realized that the sign language of other countries may not recognize these labels as numbers. They may have different handshapes for numbers. If that's the case, it would be more challenging for them to use these ASL-numbered labels as a reference - but not impossible.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>AnnaGrace</div><div>ASL user</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 9, 2022 at 11:12 AM Uta Meißner <<a href="mailto:uta.hielscher@gmail.com">uta.hielscher@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br><div><br></div><div>delegs has its own signEditor.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://apps.delegs.de/delegseditor/" target="_blank">https://apps.delegs.de/delegseditor/</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>If you doppelclick on the first area, so you come to signEditor.</div><div><br></div><div>We want to further improve signEditor to be able to write even faster. signEditor should also be usable on mobile devices.</div><div><br></div><div>For this we don't want to develop signEditor from delegs, because signEditor from signPuddle is more modern and uses SWU and fortunately is open source. <br><br>I think we can start here to collect ideas for the improvements:<br></div><div><br></div><div>- Reduce symbols to limit the selection and thus enable faster finding of symbols. <br>We have agreed on about 60 hand shapes for DGS. The number may change because we have written very little and sign language continues to evolve.

There was probably someone who made decisions. Can it be revised?<br></div><div><br></div><div>- the grouping of hand shapes by numbers in ASL is not suitable for DGS I think. I have observed that many always had to search for a long time for a hand shape. That's why we decided not to have a group and show all 30 phonemes (main handshapes) right away. We just didn't find a better grouping that we are satisfied with. <br><br>- dragging symbols from the selection to the field is tedious - other solutions?<br><br>Best regards<br>Uta<br><br></div><div><br></div></div>
