[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
September 9, 2002

Thank you, Stefan, for this very nice message. Congratulations on
your successful workshop using SignWriting!

Are you saying you used the new document listing the SSS in your
workshop? It was a help to you?....I know the BaseSymbols have to be
turned in some handshapes in that PDF...Hope that was not a confusion
for your students...

I hope to post a newer version of the same document soon -

Thanks for telling us about all you are doing -  and congrats once again -

Val ;-)

>>  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!
