Dear SW List Members, and Ingvild -

I worked all weekend on SignBank, to add the four variations of the  
10 handshape, and other symbols. The IMWA is now exactly the same in  
SignPuddle and in SignBank.

I am ready to upload the new version of SignBank, so you all can  
download it and start using it.

I have a question...

How many countries would like to use SignBank? to print or publish  
dictionaries, sorted by Sign-Symbol-Sequence (SSS)?

I will be posting:

1. SignBank US
in English and American Sign Language


I could post an empty SignBank for:

2. SignBank NO
in Norwegian and Norwegian Sign Language

3. SignBank BE-fr
in French and French Belgian Sign Language

4. SignBank BE-nl
in Dutch and Flemish Sign Language

5. SignBank BR
in Portuguese and Brazilian Sign Language

When you download this empty SignBank, you will find the menus are in  
your spoken language, and the Editor-program is waiting for you to  
learn how to add the signs...I will be teaching you how to do this...

So please write to tell me if your country would like a SignBank  
database -

Many thanks!!

Val ;-)
