As has been discussed during the workshop, all presentations should be made available as soon as possible on the Intersign web site. After the end ofthe Intersign Network project, papers should be revised for inclusion in a handbook.

Authors are asked to send in their contributions before Oct 1st to the following address: thomas.hanke@sign-lang.uni-hamburg.de.

With the target format of a web publication in mind, authors have the choice in which format to send in: Any of the usual word processing formats (Word,FrameMaker etc. as well as plain text with separate image files are possible.

As the text will be converted to HTML, fancy formatting is not important at this point of time. (For the final ESF publication, there will be document templates etc. available.) For bibiographical references, please APA style including the recommendations for online references.

Of course, it is also ok to send HTML files along with graphics files. If you decide to do so, please keep in mind that we will use Cascading Style Sheets, so keep formatting elements to a minimum and use headings in a consistent manner.

As the least preferable solution, PDF documents can be accepted as well. Since they do not integrate well with cross-referencing apporaches, this should be regarded as the very last option.

In any case, authors are encouraged to send movie files along with their texts as examples, illustrations or whatever.For transmission of the files please use any of the common packing utilities.

After we have received your contribution, the document will be transferred to web format. Then we will inform the reviewer as had been decided by the Intersign Coordination Committee. As soon as the reviewing process has been successfully completed, we will link the article to the Intersign web pages as well as add cross references to other contributions where appropriate.

If you have any questions regarding the publication process, please feel free to contact Thomas Hanke.
