I see. Well...this would be a perfect project for the SignBank Web
Services I was just talking about....Essentially you need a specialized
private SignPuddle that gives you the ability to add the video, once
you get permission, and to write each classifier in a special
classifier-SignPuddle...and that could then, if you want, be available
for viewing by the public, but they could not change anything...It
could be called a ASL Classifier Dictionary, by you and your research
co-workers...but those are just thoughts...and for us to set that up
for you would cost money, and right now you are doing this for free and
that is good too...

Nothing wrong with using SignWriter Java, which gives you the ability
to type sentences...the program has so many bugs though...it must be
hard for you...

Unless I see the video, I will have trouble checking your work, so when
the person gives you permission, let's arrange a way to send it to
me...You can call me and over the phone I can teach you how to send it
to me...

Thanks for your hard work, Nancy!
