Hoi,
The proposal is for ASL to be written in SignWriting. This has the added
benefit that whatever is actually written can also be edited in our wiki
style. The problem with video is that you cannot change it and consequently
it is not really Wiki.
Steve Slevinsky is working on an extension that will allow for the writing
of any sign languages using SignWriting. I understand that he is even
cosidering another skin.. This will allow for much of the user interface to
be localised.
Thanks,

That's great, but how do we integrate it into other projects? Are we
going to use the extension on every single project just for the purpose
of interwiki links (it might have a little more use on commons and
meta), or will there just not be interwiki links from projects to a
SignWriting wiki?
An extension to have a wiki that uses SignWriting instead of a normal
script is one thing, getting it to work well with projects that are in a
normal script - interwiki links, CentralAuth, etc. - seems like it would
be a lot more difficult.
