Development including all bug fixes can be tracked on the Github repository for Global Signbank. New features implemented from 2018 onwards are summarised below.
February 8, 2018
- A logo designed by the deaf Chinese designer Sun Qian has been added to the header, and serves as a button to go to the home page.
- A Handshape list has been added, including both photos and a description in terms of distinctive features. The search form allow for searching for handshapes and for searching for signs based on handshape features.
- ECVs can be exported for each dataset from the page View available datasets.
- Selected datasets are listed in the header next to the user name. When no datasets are selected, all of them are listed here (and serve as the scope for searches).
- Datasets can be configured as 'read only' or 'read and write'. Searches for both signs and morphemes respect dataset permissions.
- The panel Language & Dialect in the detail view has been removed. The Language field is now part of the Dataset value in the Publication Status panel. Dialect is displayed at the top above the glosses when specified.
