Hi List,

I've updated the SignWriting MediaWiki Plugin (SWMP).  You can view the 
test wiki online:
http://www.signbank.org/wiki

MediaWiki is the software behind Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and more.  The 
SWMP is an extension for MediaWiki.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SignWriting_MediaWiki_Plugin

There are several sign language projects for Wikipedia and Wiktionary 
that have been "Verified as eligible".

The next step for these projects is to " develop an active test project".

Currently, the SWMP allows the viewing of SignWriting within a MediaWiki 
install.  Sign data can be copied from SignPuddle and pasted into the 
MediaWiki software.

The purpose of the extension will be to run on the various WikiMedia 
Foundation servers.

I am actively pursuing this goal and hoping for the best.
