[Sw-l] Brainstorming, what sofware for Signwriting could I write that would make people feel good about themselves.

Hello everyone, and Jonathan,

I will answer your message specifically Jonathan.

First we all want to thank Steve Slevinski for giving us his tools for software development for SignWriting. Without Steve’s tools, we simply would not be where we are today - thank you Steve!

Second, thank you Jonathan, for using the tools Steve has provided, to create other programs. You have done several, but the most recent one is an App based on SignPuddle dictionaries:

I use this SWSW App all the time, on my computer and phones, but I do need your help, Jonathan, to fix one tiny bug which I am sure you can help me with - I will write to you privately about that issue.

But for the future, if you could read the messages from Amit, maybe you can get involved with some of that work -

I think the world is changing fast to video, and language transcription from the sign language videos and even if you could develop an app that does not actually do the transcription itself, but grabs SignWriting literature written in vertical columns and somehow connects it to videos - anything along the lines of getting videos and then the SignWriting that is related would be a blessing -

There are already many videos with SignWriting transcription from Brazil and then Amit just showed us Adam Frost’s video in ASL with transcription - and although that is highly technical work, it is the beginning towards an easier time relating videos with the signwritten equivalent

Val ;-)

Before I've focused more on what I thought would be useful, or what I wanted to have myself for SignWriting.  But now I want to explore abit more on the emotional side of things.  I could be people in the Deaf community, their family, friends, employers or any other group of people related to SignWriting.
