Re: question about this list
No problem Pia - thanks for the explanation. I'm curious if speech-dispatcher may be of interest to you. Since you're talking about putting things in the kernel, however, I suspect it might be too user level for you. The reason I ask, however, is that we're trying to supplant gnome-speech with speech-dispatcher and we can use help shoring up the code.

Re: question about this list
Hi again Willie, I just wanted to mention that I would not mind checking out Orca and the Gnome accessibility project either. I greatly appreciate the work you and Sun have done on it. Your work is a great asset to the blind community. I just wanted to clarify this because my last email sounded frustrated, but that frustration is at Ubuntu and certainly not Gnome or Orca. Your team has been able to do so much more than anyone else has ever done for the blind user on the Linux desktop and I thank you! I will need to install a different distro however, if I want to help out your project, because the pulse audio in Ubuntu miserably breaks accessibility in Gnome.

Re: question about this list
Greetings Willie, Actually, my problem is I want non-graphical servers to be able to talk too. There is currently a speakup patch to do that in the Ubuntu repository called speakup-source speakup-tools speakup-doc and espeakup The only problem is that no one has taken the time to patch the kernel with that patch and make sure it runs. It is in the repository, but takes hacking by the end user / sys admin to get it to work. What I would like is to help or to have the developers make a speakup kernel. Seeing as how it is already part of Ubuntu, I don't see why this would be so difficult. Not everyone who is blind uses the GUI and to tell you the truth, the command line talks way better than Gnome ever has with Orca. So, what I would like to see and am saying I would like to help with if needed, is to get a binary package of a speakup enabled kernel added to Ubuntu. Since the source patch is already part of the distro, I do not understand why the accessibility development team has not already done this. Many blind people, myself included, have chosen careers in system administration because it is something we can do well. Sys Admins certainly do not want Gnome or any GUI on their mission critical server. So, this would be a great service to the blind community.

Hi Pia: Do you want to work on Ubuntu specifically or GNOME? If you want to work on GNOME, please feel free to join http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list Help is greatly needed and would be greatly appreciated.

question about this list
I read the description of this list and it appeared to be a mailing list for the accessibility development team, but some questions made me think it looked more like a users list. Will someone straighten me out? I am looking for the development list because I would like to help if it is wanted, to get a speakup binary package made for Ubuntu. Some of us use the server and so don't care about a GUI and would like to see that "just work" too. I would be willing to contribute to making that happen if there is a chance to do so, but no one has answered me.
