Hi steve and val!

Thanks for the info. I hope to give the wikibook a try soon, so will let you know if i (and i probably will) encounter any difficulties.

thanks

ps: yep LSM is the acronym used for Mexican sign language - we only discovered that a few months ago, we have been using LSM for so long now to refer to Maltese sign language, we will just have to share that acronym i think (and clarify if need be, when both languages are mentioned).

Hello Steve and Maria!

I think it will be wonderful, Maria, if you and your team can start a Maltese Sign Language Wikipedia.

I believe the term “LSM” confused you, Steve. Maria is writing Maltese Sign Language (LSM)

I'm sorry. I knew that. Confused by language codes. Maltese Sign Language has the language code "mdl".

Maria, I hope you and many others will join the Maltese Sign Language Wikipedia efforts on Incubator.
https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/mdl

Incubator uses the ISO 639-3 language codes for sign languages. Maltese Sign Language uses the code "mdl".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltese_Sign_Language

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. Maltese Sign Language can start the Wikibooks project any time.
