SignWriting List
March 15, 2009

Hi Jonathan!
We are all very interested in your new software...Thank you for your  
contribution and hard work, Jonathan. Will your software use the ISWA?  
Can it someday be used in conjunction with SignPuddle Online? All  
these features are great, but without funding I realize we are all  
held back...I believe the world economy will get better by the end of  
2009...let us cross our fingers! Thanks again for your gifts to  
us...and keep us informed...

Val ;-)
