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

[John Carlson]

I am working on a perhaps parallel path of getting PTASL into chatGPT and
PTASL out of ChatGPT.   This means mechanical/sensor/webcam input
robotic/actuator/video/image output.

A goal is to be able to choreograph the Virginia Reel in DanceWriting, and
then dance it in VR
