ANNOUNCING: International SignWriting Alphabet 2008

[Jonathan]

Hi Val,
    Congratulations on the new ISWA 2008!!! :-)
This is certainly good news.  Nice to see that we have finally arrived 
at the point of starting to use the ISWA 2008!!!!  :-)         
    I was also surprised that see that you made modifications just 
recently to the ISWA and already have most of the documentation ready!!  
Wow!!!  :-) 
Also that you are doing things in steps to make sure it works right and 
fine tune any more symbols before it´s definitely finished.  That´s great!!!

    I have just been looking over some of the documentation yesterday 
morning before I got back to transcription.  The information is very 
interesting and chuck full of love.
   
    I like the descriptions you put on the Category one groups.  They 
are clearer.  I used to find it hard to figure out why the "i" hand 
would be under group 6 as the thumb is not part of the "i" hand.  I used 
to have the same problem with the "y" hand because the thumb and baby 
finger weren't touching and I was failling to see why I should find them 
in group 6.  But with group six being the "Baby Finger" group it is much 
clearer.


Thanks once again for ISWA 2008
