Thank you, Timothy, for keeping the SooSL program up-to-date and for sending us the announcements.

12 years - imagine that!

We appreciate working with you. I am glad to see that the SooSL program is used. Keep us informed -

>> Thank you, Timothy Grove, for sending us updates regarding the SIL software SooSL. I am posting your message to the SignWriting List because I believe there are some who use SooSL. I know that users can choose to use SignWriting symbols in SooSL if they wish, and I believe Adam Frost's photos of hands are also used in the program. So thank you so much for including SignWriting in the SIL (Summer Institute of Linguistics) software.
