About SignWiki

SignWiki is a collaborative web and mobile platform for collecting, disseminating and analysing sign language resources and knowledge.

The Icelandic version at is.signwiki.org opened in January 2012 and is described as used in teaching, interpreter work, university study, deaf schools, workplaces, and by parents of deaf children. Implementation in Norway and Namibia was described as underway, with a stated aim to make the platform available to other countries, particularly developing countries.
