• A previous exercise to develop a book <strong>of</strong> Kosovar<br />
Signs in 2002 met with great resistance, antagonism<br />
and rejection from many members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Deaf</strong><br />
community. (This work had been led by individuals<br />
with no training in sign linguistics and is regarded as<br />
unscientific) To ensure consensus on <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> present sign language research team, <strong>the</strong><br />
volunteer working group, from different geographical<br />
and social backgrounds and <strong>of</strong> varying ages and<br />
gender will collectively be responsible for producing<br />
<strong>the</strong> DVD and booklet in 2009.
