SignWriting List
June 24, 2008

Hello Gerard!
Thank you for all your support and this email - which is particularly  
kind ;-))

I know that everyone here would love to clone Adam and Steve  
too...they are such invaluable parts to the whole SignWriting  
project...and of course I wish we could clone all the wonderful  
SignWriting teachers and writers out there too...and all the  
SignWriting students and benefactors...there are so many who  
contribute daily to writing sign languages...smile...

So I guess we just have to continue working until there are more  
writers and teachers and programmers and supporters...thanks to you  
Gerard!

Actually, it would be great if I can retire and watch it spread  
without me...that would be the best news...proof that the writing  
system is no longer a teenager, but a full-fledged adult!

You just reminded me that we should link our posting of Adam's video  
and document on our site, to the conference web page that was the  
original inspiration...Can you find out the exact links we should  
post? I will be happy to do that...

Please thank everyone from the conference for presenting Adam's video  
at the end of May in Italy!

Val ;-)
