One final thing. Canonical will not be funding future developments of 
speech-dispatcher. Any work I do on Speech-dispatcher from here on out, will be 
done mostly in my own time. I may fix bugs here or there with my Canonical hat 
on, but the rest will be me personally contributing to the project.

I really want to see speech-dispatcher succeed, and become the standard speech 
API on linux, and perhaps other POSIX OSs like BSD etc. In order to do this, we 
need to clearly document the changes we want to make going forward, so we can 
keep on track to achieving that goal. Once again, if Brailcom are unable to 
give speech-dispatcher the time it deserves, I am willing to lead the project 
development, manage releases, and code quality as much as I can in my own time, 
with Brailcom's blessing of course.

So stay tuned for futher development plans.
