[Sw-l] SignWriting development update

[Jonathan Duncan]

Hi Steve,

     Sounds like a great idea to have an API so that everybody can 
easily access the data from the SignPuddles.  It will help developers 
and researchers alike to get the data in a format they can easily access 
and analyze.

Thanks
