SignWriting Mission Statement

[Ingvild Roald]

Wonderfull! Thanks - we would use some of this for the European Sign 
Writers' charter/ constitution.

Just one thing more: To give free accsess through the World Wide Web for 
basic software, lessons, and litterature in SignWriting - or something along 
these lines
