Yes. There are two SignWriting Chat Room applications being developed,
one in the UK by James Bassett-Cross and one in Brazil. There may be
other software programmers working on this too...If anyone knows of
other chat room projects, please tell me....

Plus, Stephen Slevinski, at PUDL, has also developed a way to send
email in SignWriting...That is not quite a chat room, but is instead a
way to go on the web, prepare your sentences in SignWriting and then
send the message through email to someone else...So here are people to
contact about this:
