SignWriting List

Thank you Steve, for this answer about Open Office Graphite Fonts. I want to thank Eduardo from Uruguay, for working on this ongoing software development. It is not ready for use yet.

Marquita wants a way to write SignWriting, and thinks we have to download something….but instead, I would like to encourage Marquita to use SignPuddle Online, without downloading anything…just go online and start using SignPuddle.

Marquita, please tell us that you got this message, and let me help you learn how to use SignPuddle Online…

Go to:

SignPuddle Online
http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle/index.html#signpuddle2.0

and click on the flag for your country. What sign language do you use?

Write again to tell us -

Val ;-)
