That is good news, Shane! And since there are others, such as Patrick
Matthews and Dr. Lorraine Leeson, at the Centre for Deaf Studies at
Trinity College, who are already using SignWriting, they may find this
an interesting project! You can show them your NISL SignPuddle on the
computer - ha!! smile...

Good luck with your interview!
