This did not get the response it deserved.

Stephen Weeks has been talking to me about a local (San Francisco
bay area) WAYK group that has met ... once? twice? ... and
apparently went quite well.

I'm *very* impressed by
http://lodockikumazvati.org/se_tadni/le_vajrai_se_tadni_20100524.pdf
, in particular by the use of signwriting.

Go you!

A general question about WAYK, which I find difficult to learn from
the website: I notice that your version of the universal speed
curriculum has signs in it, but
http://whereareyourkeys.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/usc-wayk-espanol.pdf
, for example, does not.  Is the game always played with ASL as part
of it?  I mean, do you basically *have* to learn ASL to play WAYK?
(this wouldn't bother me; I want to learn ASL anyways, just want
clarification)

Some minor comments:

1.  You say that the signs are "what that", but it's actually "that
what".

2.  ASL "question" is a bit more complicated than that:

3.  Is this:
http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5/searchsign.php?ui=1&sgn=4&sid=8529
what you're using for ja'a?  Yeah, looks like.  Not sure what you're
going to do when you get to {nu'e}, but other than that I like it.
:)

4.  What's with all the {cu} and {vau}?  Seems unnecessarily
complicated.
