Well, for instance the debian installation manual probably deserves an
accessibility section...

And if you feel like diving into debian you could help John Heim with
his speechd-up package, to make it up to date with the debian policy, so
that we may then add it to Debian.


Yeah, I haven't been able to work on it this week. I put that speechd-up 
package together because I needed it for an automatic linux installation 
system we have at my work. I thought that if others can use it, that would 
be fine. But it's time I took it to the next level. I just haven't been able 
to work on it for one reason or another since you told me it was messed up. 
All I've had time to do is compile the speechd-up binaries. I stillhaave to 
fix/upgrade the init.d scripts and re-do the deb packaging

I'm a systems admin for the University of Wisconsin Department of 
Mathematics and I know a little about everything but not a lot about 
anything. I'm no shell scripting  guru. I know enough to be dangerous. I 
know next to nothing about packaging debs. I learned only what I needed to 
know so that I could build a package that would install speechd-up during an 
automatic linux install.The one advantage I have is that I have ready access 
to every kind of hardware you can name. But I wouldn't mind if someone would 
point out places where I've obviously gone off course.
