November 18, 2008

Thank you, Jonathan, for your help with logging in to SignPuddle...

And thanks for the information below about the Sign Language  
translations of the WatchTower...Have you written some of the videos  
in SignWriting?

And thank you for informing me about your software development  
too...Perhaps you can share with the List about the software you are  
developing....It is for SignWriting.....I believe it coordinates with  
SignPuddle Online?

Val ;-)
