[sw-l] IMWA version 1.0 completed...

SignWriting List
August 21, 2004

Dear SW List members:
Since we last posted messages to the List, the Valencia Community
College, which houses our List, experienced a hurricane. The city of
Orlando, Florida was without electricity for awhile. I do not know if
our List is up and running again or not. If you get this message, then
it is, and we are fortunate! I send best wishes to all those who live
in Florida, for a speedy recovery from the hurricane...

I am happy to tell you that I have completed version 1.0 of the
International Movement Writing Alphabet (IMWA).

Version 1.0 includes:
8 Categories
50 Groups
450 BaseSymbols
25,100 GIFs
195 Handshapes

Version 1.0 does NOT include DanceWriting and other general Movement
Writing symbols. Those will be in version 2.0...

The IMWA 1.0 is called the SSS-2004, because it was completed in 2004.
The IMWA 2.0 will probably be the SSS-2005 or 2006.

I am still preparing the large folder with all 25,100 GIFs for
programmers, but right now, you can read a listing of all the symbols:

Enjoy!
