AW: [sw-l] SignPuddle - how to change a given sign

[Stephen Slevinski]

Hi Anny,

Each dictionary is moderated differently.  Dictionary editors have the power
to delete and rename signs.  On the opening page of each dictionary, there
are several links to new signs that have been added to the dictionary.  You
can view signs that have been added in the past 24 hours, the past week, or
the past month.  I hope that dictionary editors will use these links to
verify that the signs in the dictionary are correct.

The short term answer is for the editors of a dictionary to discuss between
themselves how to moderate the dictionary.  The long term answer is to
improve the tools for dictionary editors to use.  I like the idea of an
accepted sign.  I will probably add that to the redesigned SignPuddle.

The free version of SignPuddle will always be open to the public.  It may
introduce chaos into the mix, but it does keep it interesting, exciting, and
gets people involved.

-Stephen

I worked with the group of persons who all had a introduction course on
SW today... we have meetings every six weeks... and try to practice Sw
together... there were a few questions about SignPuddle...:

is there a way we could see that an item into the dictionnary is not
"acceptped" by the group... they don't like the idea of anyone being
able to write anything in the dictionnary...
I told them about my role (as an editor) to check the dictionnary...
take away wrong signs... or correct.... but, as a hearing... my
intention was to share with the group (deaf and hearing partifipants)
before deciding of the best way to write down a sign... as we only meet
once in a while... some "wrong signs" might stay inthe dictonnary for a
long time... and it might get people confused!!!

Is there any way one could see that an added sign has been accepted
(and by extension... that a new sign still has to be approved??) maybe
using colour... or a code, ...

They ask if only the participants could have a access code to get into
the SignMaker.... any one of you did have such problems ??
I think it's important than anyone can access SignMaker... but also
understand their point of view... they don'nt want wrong stuff to stay
in the dictionnary for a long time!!

Another question...: is there a way to send mail to more than one
person at a time... into SignMail ??

Thanks for letting me know!

we still have problems about english... I tod them tha tw should think
of symbols for every button... in LSF Swiss french... we'll do that
next time we meet and I'll send it to Valerie (Valerie I did send you
the french words already... I'll add the sign into signpuddle for every
button... and let you know once I'M done!)
