Hi guys'n'gals

Always on the lookout for interesting ideas, I just came across this guy's website

http://www.pranavmistry.com/

and it led me here

So, where is puppy going.....more widgets, or more functionality with the world we live in?

This is doable in open source.....

Would be cool if it could help those that use sign language to get their sings into written text? Maybe I am not realistic?

I agree with you nooby that would be pretty cool, my parents are both deaf and I have a ton of friends that are deaf. there is always new stuff coming out that helps out the deaf community, when skype video chat first came out it made a huge hit with the community as it brought telephonic communications to a new level for the deaf just as the Sidekick did when it came out and basically replaced TTYs. Sorenson VRS has been out for a while now and most of my deaf friends and my parents use that to communicate now over long distances instead of other less effective methods.
