I'm not sure what is the work that Gerard is talking about. I don't know any sign language, but the rendering appears OK to me.

The volunteers' work on vertical display is really commendable. It's even more impressive when the UI language is set to ase:

I do wonder about this (and I believe that I raised this already): when SignWriting enters Unicode, will it be possible to convert the content without trouble? A not-quite-Unicode project is already a problem. If it's at least forward-compatible with Unicode, I'll be less reluctant to support this.

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
