Yes...SignWriting is a "mature" writing system.... I just visited your web site briefly, and it is a beautifully designed resource on the web. Congratulations on all the information on fonts and writing systems ...I have made a bookmark so I can return to your site when I have time :-) And of course I would be honored if your work can be applied to the SignWriting symbols, and we can definitely talk about that more. Just write to me privately. This gives me the opportunity to invite any programmer working with SignWriting to submit articles to me, about their SignWriting program, and I can schedule the article to be posted in our new forum: SignWriting Software Developer's Forum https://www.SignWriting.org/soft000.html As you know, right now we have one article in the Forum, about the program Sign Dic, from Brazil. But there are several progammers who have received our source code, and perhaps they would like to present their work on the web? And there are others developing SW programs who are not using our source code, and they are most welcome too. Meanwhile, the Software Forum is a place where I can post information for programmers about SignWriting. Questions like "how many symbols does SW have?", and "do we use Unicode?" are asked frequently, so I am looking forward to posting answers in time!
