The SignWiki initiative is hosted by the Communication Centre for Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SHH) in Iceland.
The principal aim with SignWiki from the onset was to develop a low-cost and easy-to-use tool for the dissemination of sign languages which could be utilized by organizations involved in deaf education in different countries. Of particular interest in this regard are developing countries where great efforts are required to work towards equal access for deaf people in society. The overall objective is to enhance the access of Deaf people in developing countries to communication and participation in society by strengthening the respective sign languages through the use of information and communication technologies.
