idea for SW book

Thu Jan 17 17:38:51 UTC 2013

Yes, I think for the purposes of this project it's fine for participants to
create the document in whatever way they prefer. Many who use SignPuddles
may want to use that option, but delegs, or even handwriting are fine with
me. These different approaches themselves provide interesting data for my
project!
Best,
Erika
