Dear valerie and SW list members: 
There have been "centuries" that I've stopped to post anything. I'm 
Cris, ex-member of SignNet Project and SL interpreter. I've been soo 
busy with my work as interpreter. Now I'm a member of the Ethics 
commission of my state and work as a voluntary to the deaf federation 
and a free lancer SL terp too ! 
Well...I went, last week, to the first South American Sign Language 
Interpreters Meeting in Montevideo, Uruguay. Each country was 
represented by a deaf leader and a sign language interpreter. Brazil: 
Marianne Stumpf (our main researcher in sign writing) and me. We 
presented how our interpreting courses are organized (contents, 
etc...) and a differential was just Sign Writing that is each time 
more accepted and requisited by SL interpreters here. It was a 
agitated discussion about it, you know, but in general many people 
contacted us to know a little more about it. 
Just to let you know how things are going in terms of spreading SW. 
My best regards.
