I don't know... I want to make it clear that I really appreciate what the devlopers of speakup do. They are some of the smartest, most generous people around. But if the goal is to help as many people as possible, then I think they could make at least as great of an impact by improving communications as by improving the code. Well, I've started this organization called the International Association of Visually Impaired Technologists. It seems to me that helping get information about speakup out there would tie in nicely with that project. I guess I'll get started.
