Hoi,
It takes a font that is available from the MediaWiki software. I know that
ASL does not fulfill our formal requirements but the flipside is that there
are many technical issues that do not come to light in the Incubator.
Do you mean that ASL in Incubator has technical problems which would be
solved by moving to a subdomain?
The opposite was said by Valerie: "Meanwhile, we already have functioning
Sign Language Wikipedias on the Wikimedia Incubator, without Unicode, and
we can type the edits directly on the web in full correctly-written
SignWriting, and we have all the layout issue solved and we are reading in
vertical columns...all this without Unicode." etc. "I predict that articles
will continue to be written in the Incubator and that is wonderful!"
The purpose of having a Wikipedia in ASL is that we
will learn how to do a
top down oriented language. It is a first. What it also does is give a ton
of positive attention to both Wikipedia and the use of Sign Writing. So as
I have indicated, the formal requirements are in this a hindrance. With ASL
live, we will gain the technical issues clear. We will find that more
people will start writing ASL and focus it on Wikipedia.
With this argumentation, we could approve just anything because it will
give positive attention to language XY. No thanks.
All reasons why we should.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hoi,
Have a look at this [1]. It clearly shows that a lot of work needs to
be done to get MediaWiki right for sign languages with SignWriting.
I propose that we let ASL be a Wikipedia It enables all the work that
needs doing to make it work properly. It deserves it imho as well.
Thanks,
GerardM
