Website written in ASL

[Valerie Sutton]

Hi Charles -
Actually, Adam's site is not finished yet...so this is really my  
fault...I asked if I could show it to people anyway, before it was  
finished...because I am just so excited about it...

I think that style of web site is a brave new way of setting up web  
sites in ASL...what do you think of the idea of having video hidden  
under each sign like that?

I don't even know how to do that kind of a web site, so it is the  
technology and the web design issues that are the hard part...

that is actually why I wanted to share it with people, to show the  
potential of future web sites, where whole SignWriting documents  
could be setup that way...

if there was a sign in SignWriting a reader couldn't read, they could  
pass their mouse over it to see the video of the sign, and then  
continue to read the SignWriting...

so it has a lot of potential for education...

I am just amazed at the size of the tiny videos over the smaller  
signs...that is really terrific, Adam!

Val ;-)
