SignWriting around the world

[Honza]

Hi List,

we are planning first big workshop about SW in Central Europe in Czech 
Rep. in Prague this September.
I like to invite all people who are interested in SW and I like to write 
an article how SW is used around the world - to make more people 
interested in SW.

Please, could anyone of you write short summary "How SW is used in my 
country" and short history of SW in your country?
(I mean SW came to your country, how long it is used, where, (how many 
schools..), how (in educating, in SL courses..)

I like to have report from at least this countries:
Dennmark,
USA,
Poland,
Germany,
Belgium

and reports from any other countries are very welcome.

many thanks
Honza
