Message for Tini and DanceWriters ;-)

SignWriting List
October 30, 2008

Hello Tini!

Ha! No my real dancing days are over...so no big pirouettes for me ;-))

But my dancing for joy was real nonetheless...Steve has really given  
us the beginning of an important new era, where we will be able to  
write SignWriting directly on the web, in wiki-based sites...on web  
sites that are not our own SignPuddle, but sites that are designed and  
used by others...so this will broaden the use of SignWriting  
throughout the web...this will help the spread of SignWriting...so it  
is was a good moment to celebrate, although there is still much work  
to be done...

Regarding writing Sutton DanceWriting...while I have your  
attention...I would like to ask you a favor...can you fill out this  
special form for choreographers?

http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pYfktOVt2MVnYRdrXCtTcSw

It is for a special research project at a university, related to  
different notation systems, including Sutton Movement Writing and  
Sutton DanceWriting. You are the perfect person for this form,  
Tini...Many thanks...

Regarding software for DanceWriting and MovementWriting....no...we  
only have software for SignWriting right now.

So our software is specifically for SignWriting...

SignWriting is used by thousands of people daily now, in around 40  
countries, and there are so many users that we put their needs first...

Val ;-)
