SignWriting List
April 30, 2007

Stefan -
Can you show us the sign names that you do have written already, and  
post them to the List? Then we all can have fun looking at them and  
checking them ;-)

So go right ahead and post them to the List and then we can discuss  
reading everyone's names together to see if we understand the  
SignWriting...

Thanks for doing this, Stefan...

Val ;-)
