One thing you know about and I don't are the surface symbols.  I
remember you had used them in a question you had asked Val about planes
and both hand moving together.  Could you explain the surface symbols?

Val and I both hope that I will be able to learn and be skilled enough to be a "traveling teacher" and teach workshops because we all know that traveling is hard on her now. I could try my best to also help online, but I now see that the one on one face to face is truely the best way. My best suggestion would be, if face to face is not possible, is to send writings to the list, then I will be able to give feedback, and with Steve and Val's great work with SignPuddle and SignMail as well as other areas, that is very possible. :-)

I live in Central America so one on one isn't feasible.  The Deaf
communities owe a lot  to Steve and Val for all of their hard work which
has made writing signs and especially online possible.  Thanks to the
two of you!!!  Your work is helping both the deaf and those helping the
deaf!!!  I got my first glimpse of the working SignPuddle this past
week.  I also took a bit more time online to check out the Instruction
Videos. Hope to get a bit of time latter to try them out more fully.


    What is currently the best way to pass SignText bookmarks to the new
SignPuddle1.5?
