[Foundation-l] Signal languages Wikimedia projects

[Gerard Meijssen]

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,
       GerardM
