[Sw-l] SignWriting Keyboard update

SignWriting List
May 27, 2015

Hello Maryline!
Great to read your message here on the SignWriting List. Congratulations to you as well, for all you have accomplished.

And yes, the SignWriting List members are a great group and I know I feel less lonely when we can chat about writing signs too -

Every year there are new software projects using SignWriting. The SignWriting Keyboard project by Yair Rand will be presented at the SignWriting Symposium 2015 this July. It works well with the new Wikipedias in written sign languages and also holds potential for use in searching for written signs in web browsers.

I will write a second message now about your software accomplishments, Maryline. I am sure the SignWriting List will be interested in your work with programming Avatars…using your writing system, called SMYLE: http://www.signographie.fr/ <http://www.signographie.fr/>

So look for the next message - Val ;-)

>> Wow, Yair - this has great potential. Adam pointed out that it works best in the Wikimedia Incubator, so I went to this web page:

>> Thank you ;-)
>> 
>> Please see attached diagrams…it works better in Wikimedia Incubator than on Google Search because on the Wikimedia Incubator site the symbols can at least be seen when you type them…even though they look like they are outside the Text Field because they are too big for the Text Field…
>> 
>> On the Google Search Page they disappeared completely although you could see a tiny tip of a few fingers that were sticking up more than the others, the symbols themselves could not fit into the Text Field because they are too large -
>> 
>> But the search still gave us the FSW code in both places - Google and Wikimedia Incubator - See attached screen captures from Wikimedia Incubator:
