SignWriting List
December 18, 2011

Thank you for saying this, Charles. Ramon worked 10 years on this project and it is a major accomplishment, and a beautiful book.

And thank you also for giving me some of your documents to post, which I look forward to doing as well - and thank you to Honza and others who are waiting patiently for me to post on the web for your projects...

I am starting to think that we need a way for people to post their documents other than the SignWriting List - it seems most people post them to me privately instead of to the SignWriting List directly - which means that the whole process is slowed down because I am limited for time -

So feel free to post any documents you wish here on the SignWriting List - the Listserve software is setup to accept documents, and then I will post them on the web -

Maybe we can create our own web site someday, that lets people post their pdf documents into a database online - we already have the beautiful SignPuddle Document archive written directly in SignWriting, but a PDF archive area on the web where people can post their PDFs directly for others to download, related to SignWriting, would be a great idea - such as research papers, abstracts, theses, dissertations, and SignWriting Literature…all in PDF or Word formats - Steve or Bill or Jonathan…do these kinds of PDF posting places already exist on the web that we can setup an area for that right now?

Val ;-)

To learn how to reproduce the sign, the reader must read SignWriting - No photos or life-like drawings of people - just pure SignWriting and word descriptions - smile a well-designed format that is easy to use - Ramon tells me that he and his team worked 10 years on this book -
