New Posting: Official SSS for SignBank 2002

[Stefan Woehrmann2]

Hi Valerie,

thank You so much for this wonderful list of all the different symbols -
Your offer for Download came just in time - I could use it during another
workshop

"GebaerdenSchrift lesen lernen "   (Learn to read SignWriting)

It was a tremendous success.  The whole workshop was held in SL !  Some of
the DEAF  SL instructors were able to understand the logic behind your
system soooo quickly ...
When I left they were able to write a poster in Geb Ê° denSchrift  by hand
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 " Hello Stefan  - Have a nice trip home "

This has been again a very important experience -

More and more people in Germany get in contact with GebaerdenSchrift and
that will help to overcome fears and prejudices ... ;-))

All the very best -- and thanks again for all your wonderfull materials and
your support !

Stefan ;-))

> Dear SW List Members:
> The first release of SignBank 2002, at the end of this month, is the
> starting point for a new era. We will be sorting and printing
> dictionaries by Sign-Symbol-Sequence on a regular basis.
>
> I therefore worked hard in August to finalize a "final numbering
> system" for the SSS that is flexible but sensible and easy to learn.
> It is important that a Deaf child, age 6, can find signs in a
> SignWriting dictionary quickly, visually and easily.
>
> The SSS-2002 is the name of the Sequence we will be using for the
> next two years. It is the "default Sequence" for SignBank 2002.
>
> I am hoping to do a new release of SignBank every two years. SignBank
> 2004 can incorporate any changes needed to the SSS.
>
> So the new SSS-2002 is now officially posted on the web:

> SSS-2002
> http://www.SignBank.org/symbolbank/ssslist
>
> These are only the "Base Symbols", without their rotations and
variations....
>
> I will also be writing a manual explaining the logic behind the
> Sequence. The new SSS manual will be included in SignBank 2002.

> You can see I am keeping busy!
