[gnuspeech-contact] new to gnuspeech

[Paul Tyson]

Hi all,

I was able to install gnustep gnuspeech on my Gnewsense (Ubuntu) Linux
system without much trouble (considering I am new to both applications).
Thanks to all who have made this possible.  I was able to do
text-to-speech synthesis right off, in both Monet and the shell script.

I've read through the main papers mentioned on the gnuspeech home page,
so have a general understanding of the application.  I'd like some
pointers couple of things.

1. Has there been any interest or activity in making gnuspeech
understand SSML (http://www.w3.org/TR/speech-synthesis11/)?

2. Are there any more detailed resources on how to develop postures and
rules for a new language in gnuspeech?

Best regards,
--Paul
