Hello Charles!

Yes. Most of the new handshapes are from Ethiopian photos, but some  
are also requests from others over a period of many years...and I am  
sure that as soon as the ISWA 2008 is released with its 240  
handshapes, that people will immediately find many more we need from  
other countries too. Right now I have a list of some 10 others that  
could be added, but the ISWA gets so large with so many, and right now  
I am working on improving the sizes of Movement Symbols, so I stopped  
adding handshapes at number 240!

We can talk about the ISWA 2008 when it is released in February...

Thanks for your interest!
