SignWriting Image Server Beta 5

[SignWriting]

SignWriting List
May 21, 2009

I hope everyone will visit Adam Frost's web site written in American  
Sign Language, using the SignWriting Image Server (SWIS):

http://www.frostvillage.com/lang/ase/

Steve has been updating the SWIS to beta 5, so it can do more for web  
designers like Adam!

Adam has a cool blog too, which I will write a new message about to  
the List later today...Gerard pointed it out to me, and now that Adam  
is staying with me here, working with me for the next two weeks, Adam  
got a chance to show me his amazing blog and I am really impressed!
