[sw-l] Question about Salvation

Hello Stuart, and everyone on the SW List!
Thank you for this nice message, and for understanding my 
situation....;-)]

The truth is that I need the month of July to complete all these 
handshapes...I am adding three handshapes to Group 01-05 today, and 
then if I can complete 06, 07 and 08 this week I will be lucky. Then 
Group 01-09 is huge and may take 10 days...So I am assuming around 
August 1st I should be ready to really start introducing the IMWA to 
everyone...

As far as why that little diagonal line appeared on the square symbol 
for the fist?...At one point we were trying to find a way to see palm 
facing better with that basic square symbol...from the programming 
point of view, the dark square looks the same in some rotations...for 
example, if the hand has the knuckles up, or down, the basic square 
symbol looks the same. So we were trying to add the thumb line so we 
could see the difference between those two positions. But then, when we 
really tried to write with it, it just wasn't necessary. The basic 
square is a wonderful symbol for Deaf children...and adding such detail 
becomes too much to learn.  So we went back to what we have been using 
for 30 years...a basic square.

Meanwhile, the experimental symbols were sitting in a big folder of 
symbols that I gave PUDL...I had forgotten to change those symbols back 
to the correct plain square...So in August I am going to provide 
programmers with clean folders of symbols...and that problem will be 
corrected!

Thanks for listening to me!

Val ;-)
