SignWriting List August 23, 2001 Hello Everyone! I had such a positive day today, working on our SignBank 2.0 database development. Our programmer Todd and I worked 6 hours, trying to finish the ten printing formats for SignWriting dictionaries in SignBank. SignBank makes it possible to print dictionaries sorted by words or sorted by Sign-Symbol-Sequence. There are also multi-lingual print formats, where ten signed languages can be shown on one printed page...or just two...or just one...it is quite fexible. This weekend I will test the program, and hopefully next week we will complete our documentation. Todd is writing the information for other database programmers, and I will write instruction for SignBank users. I will also try to arrange for some donated copies of FileMaker 5.5, from Apple and the FileMaker people. I am hoping that I can give FileMaker 5.5 to a few interested people who would like to beta test SignBank 2.0 this Fall....Then SignBank Runtime, which will be shareware, will be available later, after the beta testing results have ironed out any problems....And then, after that, we hope to create a web version of the database, for researchers around the world, who would like to join other researchers, sharing SignWriting data quickly on the web. So this is an ongoing project....I am hoping that the SignBank databases will contribute to improving standardized spellings in SignWriting around the world.... -- Val ;-> ----------------------------- Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org SignWriting List Archives: https://groups.yahoo.com/group/sw-l/ To post a message to the SW List:
