Hello Thierry, Bruno and the French-Belgian team!

First, congratulations on your new web site!

I enjoyed visiting it today. It looks terrific. The elegant video of  
French-Belgian Sign Language on the front page is really welcoming...

http://www.lsfb.be/

And I know how much work creating a new web site is...

I enjoyed seeing some of the SignWriting already there...when you  
click on a variant and see all the handshapes there...I can see you  
have so many variants of French-Belgian Sign Language...I guess those  
are dialects? and you are providing a section for each one...that is  
amazing!

YES...You can already create signs in the colors you mention above,  
in SignPuddle...See next message for my explanation how to change  
signs to colors...

Val ;-)
