[sw-l] Flemish Sign Language development continues...

[Stephen Slevinski]

Bart & Steven,

It's great to hear that you are going to open source your software.
Hopefully, someone in the community can create an import/export for
SignWriter Tiger.  This combination could be very powerful and easily gain
wide support.

I just wish someone else would use the IMWA.

-Stephen

Dear Valerie and list,

It's been quite a long time since I and Steven posted here so give us the
time
to get used to the feeling again... We are currently finishing our final
master year in CS so it's been very busy and it will become worse when all
our projects have to be finished.
On the other hand, we'd like to inform you of how our dictionary is doing
and
how the development continues (because it does!). Currently we are working
with some minor optimalisations, management of over 7000 signs can be tough.
One major event which might interest you is that we are going to open source
our software.
Why? Because that way you can enjoy our effort and reuse it when appropiate.
When? Within the next month hopefully, we're still working out licensing
issues.
How? You'd probably just will have to mail us and we'll guide you to the
source. Unfortunately we won't be able to fully support it like we did at
our
working example - because that takes too much costly time - but we will help
if possible.

If you have any comments or questions we'll try to answer them as soon as
possible!

Bart & Steven
