I think Auslan is the most obvious WM-AU language to support - even before "languages in our neighbourhood" like Indonesian etc. <br><br>However - how do we practically represent a sign language on a Wiki? I've no idea how about you going about doing that... I know it has been discussed in relation to Amercian Sign Language - but I still don't know how it's visualised, edited... <br>
