We may be interested in starting an LSM wikipedia
in the near future. Is it easy to paste from SignPuddle to
Wikipedia?
Hi Maria,
We are using the FSW strings. Material that is written in
SignPuddle can be copied and pasted directly into Wikipedia.
Anywhere you find the FSW strings being used, you can copy and paste
the ASCII strings directly into Incubator as you would with any
other language.
Editing with the ASCII strings is a bit rough, but we we are getting
better all of the time.
The biggest challenge is the page names. For any page on
Incubator, the page names must use less than 255 characters. For
properly sortable SignWriting, this means that only 13 symbols can
be used. The page names are used in the URL of the page.
For example, here is the "Main page" for the ASL Wikipeida on
Incubator.

Maria, I hope you and many others will join the Mexican Sign
Language Wikipedia efforts on Incubator.

Incubator uses the ISO 639-3 language codes for new languages.
Mexican Sign Language uses the code "mfs".

If you scroll to the bottom of the above Wikipedia page, you'll see
the link to Incubator.

We have a few translated children's story books in
SignPuddle - could we transport them to Wikibooks in the
future?
Copy the FSW strings from SignPuddle and paste into Wikibooks.
Mexican Sign Language can start the Wikibooks project any time.
