[Sw-l] Formal SignWriting: DOI record and new python library

[Steve Slevinski]

Hi SignWriting List,

I'm excited to share two new releases that continue to advance the use 
and accessibility of Sutton SignWriting in research, development, and 
digital applications.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


      *1. Formal SignWriting DOI Record*

A new*referencable record*for/Formal SignWriting/is now available on Zenodo:
https://zenodo.org/records/17553763

This record serves as a stable reference 
for/draft-slevinski-formal-signwriting/and ensures that Formal 
SignWriting can be properly cited in academic and technical work.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


      *2. Python Library:|sutton-signwriting-core|*

I've also releasing a new*Python library*with full functional parity to 
the JavaScript package|sutton-signwriting/core| 
<https://github.com/sutton-signwriting/core>.

Install via pip:

|pip install sutton-signwriting-core |

PyPI:https://pypi.org/project/sutton-signwriting-core/
<https://github.com/sutton-signwriting/core-py>Documentation: 
https://www.sutton-signwriting.io/core-py/
<https://github.com/sutton-signwriting/core-py>Repository:https://github.com/sutton-signwriting/core-py

This library provides all the core tools for working with Formal 
SignWriting in Python, including*Formal SignWriting in ASCII (FSW), 
SignWriting in Unicode (SWU), the associated query languages, the style 
string, and the conversion functions.*

There is already an excellent Python package which includes base 
functionality for FSW and SWU, along with additional features such 
as*SignWriting visualization, fingerspelling, and mouth writing*. 
https://github.com/sign-language-processing/signwriting

This new|sutton-signwriting-core|library focuses on the*Formal 
SignWriting data model and query language*, enabling developers to 
perform*advanced structured searches and analysis*within SignWriting 
datasets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

These releases mark another step forward in making SignWriting easier to 
reference, research, and build with across multiple programming 
environments.

Regards,
*-Steve*
