[Opentts-dev] Speech-dispatcher, OpenTTS, and the outcome of my discussion with Brailcom staff.

Hello,

I will react to what is relevant for me.  My colleagues will comment on
other things soon.

Where "enough" is actually >= 1. ;-)  It would probably have been there
already anyway if it was not the time of vacations and conferences.

Yes, Boris has just created the new mailing list.  Please, see
http://lists.freebsoft.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speechd-commits for
subscription information.  The speechd git is set to send notifications
automatically to this list.

We are going to use the bug tracking system which is integrated with our
internal information system.  This would be very practical for us and we
hope that it will not cause any inconvenience to the community.  We
actually believe that it will be an advantage as its interface is
heavily optimized for accessibility (based on our accessible web
application development platform).

No, that should not be a problem too.  Just let us bring these tools one
step at a time.

Thanks again to Luke for his pragmatic approach.  I believe that is the
users who is going to benefit.

Best regards, Tomas
