[sw-l] RE: SCA Signs

[Stephen Slevinski]

Hi Charles,

Yes, that is a defect with SignMaker.  If you delete a symbol, that change
will not register until after you do something else, like add a symbol, move
a symbol, or use a special command.  To work around this defect, I deleted
the wrong head then moved one of the other symbols.  I will fix this defect
shortly.

In the meantme, I fixed the sign baron.

  Hi Stephen,

  There still seems to be a glitch.  While trying to create the sign
"baron", i originally had placed a second head lower down to show the
movement of the hand from the center of the head to the left of the head.

  I edited it out before I saved the sign (meaning it disappeared from the
sign box) but when I saved it, the second head was still there.

  I then tried going into Edit mode, and took it out again, but AGAIN, it
still appeared.

  Is there a glitch?  Charles

      Thank you Stephen, I tried to create and save a sign.  I could create
it, and it got all the way to writing the name, definition, and source, but
when I tried to save after that, it said, "not valid" or something similar.
There seems to be a glitch at that point.  It then said that there were
still no signs in the dictionary so I don't know what happened.

      Charles - THANK YOU!

        Hi Charles,

        If you want an SCA SignPuddle, I've created one for you on
Oculog.net: http://www.oculog.net/signpuddle/SCA.  If anyone else wants a
SignPuddle to play around in, let me know.

        I have also created a SignPuddle for testing:

          Looking at your Flemish & Walloon sections brings up an
interesting use of Sign Language, that of the Society for Creative
Anachronism.  The SCA is a medievalist recreationist group that uses ASL and
some signs from other languages in a medieval court setting.  One of the
areas that is most useful to us is in "name signs" for specific groups.
These are based, whenever possible, on the heraldry of the group, so, for
example, An Tir is a lion rampant, which would be ASL [Lion + claw forward],
Trimaris is [3 + water + waves].  Would it be possible to get an SCA
SignPuddle section set up so that we can load this set of "special interest
signs" into it?

            Hello List, and Kathleen and Flemish children!

            Ha! yes. I did as you suggested, Kathleen, and divided Belgium
into the
            two Sign Language regions, Flemish and Walloon. Please see
attached
            diagram for the icons for the two areas...I hope this is what
you
            wanted? The Walloon dictionary does not go anywhere right now if
you
            click on the icon, but in time it will...And I used the sign for
            Belgium for the Walloon dictionary until I find out what their
sign is
            for their regional area of Belgium...

            Plus...Kathleen...did I choose the correct s! ! ! ign for
Flanders? Notice
            how following the SignSpelling rules, the arrow is underneath
the first
            handshape. I can explain that rule again, if you need it for
your
            students:
