Hi Amin, In response to your question, I like to contribute to the project and involve in development but I don't want to take responsibility related to project and for now I don't have skills needed to becoming the maintainer of gnuspeech (GNU Speech) either. I want to allocate some of my free time to reach the goals which I described in my first email to gnuspeech-contact and also learning the academical subjects related to applications of mathematics.
