For three years, consortium members of the SignON project have gained valuable insights through collaboration with deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals and communities. Consequently, Jorn Rijckaert, the coordinator of the SignON communication and dissemination, has initiated the creation of a white paper outlining key Do’s and Don’ts in sign language technology. This serves as a guide for inclusive collaboration among policymakers, researchers, and end users. We are in the final stages of completing this white paper, so be sure to keep an eye on our website as we will publish it soon. In the meantime, the interview with Jorn Rijckaert below provides a summary of the most important takeaways we wish to share for upcoming projects.
