>>> Dear SignWriting List Members:
>>>
>>> To my surprise, Valencia Community College, which donates the 
>>> SignWriting List to us, has chosen to move our SignWriting List, along 
>>> with four other Lists related to sign languages, to a new server using 
>>> new LISTSERVE software.
>>>
>>> So, our new SignWriting List address is:
>>>
>>> SignWriting List
>>> SW-L at LISTSERV.VALENCIACC.EDU
>>>
>>> So please change your address books, with the new SignWriting List 
>>> address, and we all are automatically switched over right now...Please 
>>> always send your messages to the new address.
>>>
>>> I still have to update our SignWriting List home page, with the new 
>>> information. I have not received the administrative information yet 
>>> myself, but when I do, I will inform you how you can manage the way you 
>>> receive your emails on the SignWriting List.
>>>
>>> Many thanks to Valencia Community College and Kevin Matis for their 
>>> generosity of time and server space...
>>>
>>> The SignWriting List was founded on my own personal computer back in 
>>> 1996, and then it was moved, with the help of Paul Cowley, to the group 
>>> of sign language related lists at a college in Canada, which included 
>>> SLLING, TEACHASL, TERPS, and a sign language group from ONTARIO Canada, 
>>> and the SW-L (SignWriting List). We were on the server in Canada for 
>>> years, and then we all moved to Valencia Community College in Florida...
>>>
>>> The SignWriting List is 14 years old!
>>>
>>> Your messages provide us a window into SignWriting history, and a help 
>>> to those who have technical questions.
>>>
>>> The SignWriting List Archives, which Bill Reese preserved for us (thank 
>>> you, Bill) have been a major blessing - People access the Archives daily 
>>> to learn about SignWriting history - Some are even writing research 
>>> papers about the SignWriting List, since there has been so much activity 
>>> from so many groups over the years, from so many countries...there are 
>>> members on our List from over 20 countries.

>>> Steve is updating the SignWriting Image Server, Binary SignWriting, and 
>>> the ISWA Reference Manual, and Adam is finalizing the photos and 
>>> animated gifs for the 261 handshapes in the ISWA 2010, and I am working
