Curious for your opinion...

I haven't had a chance to look at the videos because I am at work at the moment.

Gerard -
It doesn't matter what Jake's opinion is about SignWriting!  
Obviously, if he has never heard of it, or does not know it, then his  
opinion can only be that of a person who does not know it yet...but  
when he learns SignWriting later...then his opinion will have  
importance...

I have never met Jake, but I look forward to meeting him soon!

My question is to the ASL users...if the course Jake teaches is good  
ASL, and is a helpful course to people without SignWriting, then it  
will be a wonderful tool for us to write it in SignWriting, which  
will then be an added help to Jake's students...

People in the Sign Language worlds do not realize there is a way to  
write their language yet, and this would be a good way to collaborate  
with Jake, with his permission of course, to spread the idea that  
there is a way to write the language now...

But first I want the opinion of the ASL signwriters as to whether  
this course would be a good one to work with...

There are several courses in ASL that only use video, and we could  
contact any one f them and ask permission to write those courses in  
SignWriting, giving an added support for ASL students...

So I am just curious about opinions on the ASL course and should we  
contact Jake about adding some SignWriting?

All people, when they first hear about SignWriting, are surprised,  
but once they learn it I have never met a person who is against  
it...the only people who are against it, are those who do not know it...
