Hi Steve and all! See my comments below ...
We have already prepared a slot for Straight-street, so that's great!
So a quick summary. There are about 700 symbols now, some still going through the system. EN and FI language versions are available. The user and reviewer features of the web site are working and we're polishing off the admin side so Garry can work on them where ever he is working. Latest news is Garry is looking for funding for the first simple application to use them.
There is no major problem with Bliss really. In BCI we are now in principle united on a strategy of making Blissymbol resources available under two types of licences: A free license of CC-by-sa type, and a traditional license with royalty claims from BCI for packaging in proprietary products (that is, typical proprietary AAC software packages of today).
Excellent news.
There is just a delay in difining the details for this for a formal and official desicion. This is because other urgent job to properly organise and document the vocabulary has had to be prioritised during the past year. This is now being completed, and the licensing issues will be dealt within the next year.
Great as last time I looked all I found was a quirky story explaining the grammar.
Are there any public news items on CCF that explain what is happening
thanks
Steve
