<p>Hi Carlos, Uta, Val and list,</p>
<p> Have you started the weekly zoom meetings yet for producing
the videos? Or is that still a work in progress?</p>

<div>I was talking to Valerie privately about this project and I
came to the conclusion that we need to have languages other
than International Signs.<br>
We can elect one or more representatives for each sign
language active in that community and create a standard
roadmap. And this script will be available later on <a
href="http://signwriting.org" moz-do-not-send="true">signwriting.org</a>
so that if in a few years some other sign language wants to
continue the project, they will already have the script in
hand, just needing to record and adapt small parts for the
local culture.<br>
Soon (when the other ongoing projects are finished or nearing
completion) we will send an email to the entire list asking
who from each country volunteers for this project.<br>
My initial plan is to have a weekly zoom meeting between
these participants to organize the script together and
determine the order of content, deadline and collaboration.<br>
<br>
We have a lot to gain from this exchange and signwriting will
become more present around the world.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Val, your idea of making sign writing
accessible to more deaf people through video tutorials is
great. I myself belong to the group that has difficulty
reading English. It's my foreign language.<br>
<br>
There are already some tutorial videos in ASL from
SignWriting.<br>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/signwriting"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://www.youtube.com/signwriting</a>

I think that's a good thing, just that it's not enough. :)<br>
<br>
I also created some tutorial videos myself in DGS.
Unfortunately, this website no longer exists, which
surprises me. I hope this page will be back online. <a

moz-do-not-send="true">www.delegs.de</a><br>
<br>
I think, so that the project isn't that big, it's good to
focus on international first. I think quite a lot of people
would be able to understand international language videos
because it's more show than sign.<br>
But I don't know how many of us here dare to do it :) I can
do International Sign, but I don't know if my skills are
good enough. The videos are permanently online.<br>
<br>
I also have questions about the wrist movements. :)<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
Uta<br>

<div dir="ltr">Good night Val and the whole broadcast
list...<br>
<br>
This morning I felt in my heart to do translations of
some topics into Brazilian Sign Language and American
Sign Language. I think in some spiritual way we are
connected.<br>
I am available to translate to Libras and ASL. But
watching some videos of Mauricios Barreto, I felt like
trying to do it in International Signs.<br>
<br>
In the afternoon I was writing the script for a video
that would be an introduction where I would explain in
an updated and modern way "what is Signwriting?"<br>
<br>
But I didn't record it, I was just drafting the script.
That email of yours encouraged me to continue.<br>
<br>
I need to see the response of the other participants to
see what my next move will be.<br>

Dear SW List Members -<br>
<br>
I need your help.<br>
<br>
Can we create a collaborative YouTube channel for
International SignWriting Instruction using video in
your sign languages? <br>
<br>
I spoke with Steve Slevinski, and he suggested that,
rather than creating a web page, it will be better if
we collaborate as a group, to create a new YouTube
Channel, that gives SignWriting educators in each
country the collaborative membership in the Channel,
so everyone can post their videos that teach
SignWriting topics in their sign languages.<br>
<br>
Hopefully the YouTube Channel can be administered by
several people, and each country will have their place
and permission to post instruction videos in their
sign languages, linking in some way to my English book
instruction, and also linking to the SignWriting
YouTube Channel that we already have, but it will be
only for teaching SignWriting topics.<br>
<br>
Shall we call it something like:<br>
<br>
“SignWriting Instruction Channel”<br>
<br>
or…<br>
<br>
SignWriting Lessons International<br>
<br>
or…<br>
<br>
What would you call it?<br>
<br>
And can someone help me set it up on YouTube?<br>
<br>
Then I will create a Lesson and try to link to your
videos -<br>
<br>
I am struggling a little because I do not know how to
do this - hope you can help me - it could become a
valuable way for people to see your instruction - here
on the SW List it is limited because not everyone
knows how to use the SW List and so we are not
reaching as many people -<br>
<br>
Any ideas? Do you already have collaborative YouTube
channels?<br>
<br>
Val ;-)<br>

November 8th. I did not forget it. I look forward to

easy to find the topic in both spoken and signed
