Hi André,

SignMail will not return because of technical difficulties and time 
constraints.

SignMail is part of the SignPuddle 2 ecosystem running on our legacy 
server.  SignPuddle 3 was supposed to replace SignPuddle 2, but 
SignPuddle 3 development was stopped in 2020. The Sutton SignWriting 
resources have replace SignPuddle development.

The legacy server is past the official support date.  I will keep the 
legacy server running as long as it is useful and for as long as 
possible, but trying to update the server to re-enable SignMail could 
cause problems I would rather avoid.

Unfortunately, I have only been able to work on SignWriting development 
part-time for the last two years.  My attempt to raise money to continue 
SignWriting development was unsuccessful.  I was able to raise enough to 
fund the server costs and registration fees, but all of my development 
time is donated free of charge because I believe in SignWriting and I 
believe I can be useful.  If you are interested in advancing my 
development with SignWriting, consider supporting our efforts financially.

Because I have limited time for SignWriting development, I have to 
decide where my efforts are best utilized.  I have enough projects for 
an entire development team, but it is just me on the weekends.

Regards,
-Steve
