Hello SW List Members!

So many good things to tell you....

Thank you, Steve, for providing me the tools to test the ISWA...I am  
enjoying the work so much! I am working on the handshapes this week,  
adding the unusual handshapes from several signed languages we have  
never written before. The ISWA 2008 (International SignWriting  
Alphabet) will be released in 2008, and will serve as a basis for  
smaller language-specific symbolsets in the future.

Thank you, Adam, Stuart and Philippe for helping the Catalan Sign  
Language project in Barcelona, to add some of their signs into the  
Catalan SignPuddle. It looks like we will have all the signs we have  
been assigned added by December 8th or so.

Thank you, Cherie, for the Cat in the Hat document and video...Adam  
and I will be working on the video editing and the document itself,  
and hope to share this with you, and then later post it on the web,  
in January 2008.

Thank you, Kelly Jo, for writing Sleeping Beauty and it will be the  
next document after Cat in the Hat...probably in February, 2008.

Ingvild tells me that documents are coming in Norwegian Sign  
Language. Thank you for this big effort, Ingvild!

I hope others will also tell us about your documents...new Sign  
Language literature is needed around the world!

And thank you to the World Language Document Centre (WLDC) for their  
interest in SignWriting....a new project related to SignWriting is  
beginning there:
