Hi Valerie, I forgot to introduce myself to the mailing list sorry, My name Jameel, i'm from South Africa and i'm at the University of the Western Cape. We have a SASL research group are involved in translation systems for Sign Language. My research looks at the data capturing of video and using a Sign Language notation for the annotation of video content. I would like to build a Video Annotation System embeded inside a Wiki. I've had a look at different Sign Language notation systems for representing Sign Language namely Hamnosys and Stokoe, but i found that Sign Writer was better suited to the type of system that I wish to implement. I'm currently fixing the some bugs, but when i deploy the system I'll post the link to the server. I've had a look at Elan, SignStream and Anvil. Sign Writer is so easy to understand, i'm glad i came across this notation system. :) Kindest regards -jadam Valerie Sutton wrote: > SignWriting List > May 5, 2010 > > On May 5, 2010, at 11:54 PM, 2127721 wrote: > >> I'm researching an alternative to the current video annotation tools that do exist, using SSW for annotation. >> I would like to ask the users of the mailinglist to complete the assessment, its only a few questions. >> >> You can view the published form here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dG5paFd4bHJZdkNWX2pZb21kc1BLdFE6MQ >> >> Kindest regards >> -jadam >> > > -------------- > > Hello Jadam! > Thank you for this message and survey.
