[Sw-l] SignWriting Wikipedias in American, Brazilian & Tunisian sign languages

[Adam Frost]

That is a shame that Incubator is changing, but hopefully it won’t be done away with.

I think as long as we have the FSW and maybe even some screenshots, like PDFs, we should be able to bring the articles back once we are able to adapt to the changes to the server on Incubator.

To be honest, I am not surprise that something like this would eventually happen because technology is constantly changing.
