[Sw-l] How to reach more people... (interpreters and linguists)

Mon Jan 26 17:29:01 UTC 2015

Hello,
I am under the impression that pre-recorded videos sent by us would be easier.  There would only have to post them.  Possibly with a 1h00 forum each day on these... So 5 discussions instead of 25.

Thank you, André, for doing this work and I look forward to posting it and reading it - I can imagine this must have been a lot of work for you…but valuable work for the world….and I did receive your private email with the information about the book as well…Thank you so much!
I will be in touch just as soon as I can…there are so many wonderful documents to post and to share with the world…I know many people have been waiting…
Steve and I have been talking about doing a smaller SignWriting Symposium 2015 on the same dates as last time…July 21-24, 2015…but we will try to solve some of the technical problems we had before to have a smoother experience for everyone…with fewer presentations and more breaks…smile…
I still plan to edit and caption the 2014 videos and publish the 2014 proceedings just as was discussed before, plus create a smaller 2015 Symposium plan that will still provide much needed information for the world…I will keep you all informed...
Val ;-)

I will translate the 2008 SignSpelling Guidelines document in French this week-end and send you a copy.
If you can eventually post it on the SignWriting French lessons page, it would be nice.
I would like to integrate 3 pages in my comparison between SignWriting and Québec university notation system (mostly descriptions, not a writing system).

My document is aimed for interpreters and linguists mostly with technical terms.  Clearly not an intuitive approach.  It will be a bridge between their theorical analysis system and your writing system.

The idea being, if interpreters use the system for lexicons and SingPuddle, we may reach more people.

Hello André!I am glad to hear that the 2008 version of the SignSpelling Guidelines are useful to you...
I did start writing a 2010 version back in 2010, but never finished it…So I suggest that you use the 2008 document for now…It really is adequate and the 2010 version, looking back at it, may not be necessary any way -
And regarding the spam issue...for everyone on the SignWriting List… I wrote to the technicians at Valencia College in Florida, who are in charge of the many Lists that are housed on their servers, and it appears, as far as I can tell, they have succeeded to block the spam that was hitting our SignWriting List in the Archives - and in my own email box. I was getting concerned about it, because it was a lot on my end, but all of a sudden it is gone! So let us keep our fingers crossed they have found the solution and it holds…
If anyone sees spam on the SW List again please tell me and we will try to block it again -
Many thanks to the technicians at Valencia College - we are grateful for the SignWriting List and all you do for us -
Val ;-)

I am looking for the latest document version about SignSpelling (not for SignWriting a text, only for decomposing a sign into syllables).

Here is was I found:

The 2008 version would suffice for my purpose (even though the previous versions are very useful!)
