[Sw-l] Sign Language Wikipedias will continue!

[Profo Rubens Almeida]

Hello Valerie and all SignWriting List members,

I was very relieved to hear the excellent news that the Wikipedias in
SignWriting will not be removed! In fact, I didn't know I was taking that
risk. I am happy to know that I will be able to run the project of
publishing articles in Libras.

I look forward to starting the project with students from SignWriting
courses, aiming to publish articles in Libras for the Wikimedia Incubator.

Hugs!
