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

[Jonathan Duncan]

Hi Val,

     Thanks for your comments.  Also thanks to Steve of all of the 
pioneering he has done in the development of tools for SignWriting.  
Look forward to your private message so that I can help you out the bug.

In the past there have been several projects as regards 3d cameras to 
SignWriting, 3d SignWriting Avatars and GCR, graphics to character 
recognition.  Was any of it finished and usable?  If so they would be 
great to include into new apps.

So back to my main question, what app in SignWriting could I write that 
would make people feel good about themselves, or find enjoyable and not 
just anther tool?  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.  It could be for 
people in the Deaf community, their family, friends, employers or any 
other group of people related to SignWriting.

I know it's a hard question, but look forward to any and all answers.

Thanks

Jonathan
