SignWriting List
April 5, 2002
Dear SW List Members, Vinicius, and Antonio Carlos!
Thank you for your message below about SignWriting Email and
SignWriting Webmail, Antonio Carlos. This is a very exciting
development and is really mind-boggling. I appreciate all the time
and effort you are putting into this...It is sorely needed.
And I surely hope that other programmers will work on this project too...
Could your foresee that someday we could have our SignWriting List on
the SW-Email Client? Or the Webmail?
Does this mean there would be no need for GIFs any longer? That would
be great - ha! ;-)
Val ;-)
