SignWriting in MediaWiki

SignWriting List

WOW! Steve, this is a major development! THANK YOU!

I just danced a little dance for joy, around my office ;-))

I went to:
http://www.signpuddle.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page

Which I assume is the Alpha version of the SignWriting MediaWiki Plugin?

and I was able to edit and save a sign in the Wiki-style web  
page....using the new SignMaker and the ISWA...ha!!

This may lead to possible Wikipedias in written Sign Languages, or  
other wiki-based web sites, will be able to have SignWriting directly  
on their sites...which will clearly lead to the spreading of  
SignWriting throughout the internet...

Congratulations on this accomplishment...

Val ;-)
