Signbank design and development

NZSL Signbank is developed by Ackama.

NZSL Signbank is based closely on the open-source application FinSL-signbank, which is itself based on the NGT / Global Signbank source code. The original Auslan Signbank source code was the foundation for all current Signbank projects.

You can find the source code of FinSL-signbank in GitHub https://github.com/Signbank/FinSL-signbank. This code can be used and modified by anyone under the conditions of the license.

Other Signbank versions source codes are also available in GitHub: https://github.com/Signbank
