They understand signed ASL (or whatever) better than written English (or whatever), sure, but written ASL vs written English is another matter. If the technical (and possibly legal) difficulties can be overcome, then I guess we might as well give it a shot, but I'm not convinced it's going to be a success. We'll see. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
