All,

I am pleased to announce that speakup has been accepted into the staging
portion of the kernel tree.  This means that, starting with linux
2.6.37-rc1, speakup should be included in the actual linux kernel, in
the "staging" drivers.

A staging driver is a driver which is not considered mainline quality,
but is included in the linux kernel tree to give it more exposure and
hopefully get it fixed so that it can become mainline.

What this means is we will have the resources of the entire linux
kernel development community to assist us with getting issues fixed.

This is definitely a good thing, because it brings us closer to
mainline.

There will be more on this, because it does affect our development
process and how we will be able to build external modules, etc.

I will post an update once everything is figured out.

William
