Jason, you've mentioned this a few times. Any chance you or the LSR team 
could prepare some an Ubuntu .deb so those of us who are not seasoned 
devs could give it a try? :)

We are clearly at a generational shift in screen reader technology and I 
agree that it makes sense to look carefully at both strong candidates.

It's a bit ironic though that these two IT giants, Sun and IBM are now 
suddenly (MA ODF perhaps?) working on a much improved version of a key 
AT tool, in the same language (python) but in separate code bases. To 
make it worse the licences are incompatible, which blocks the flow of 
code between the two, which in turn removes the encouragement to make 
compatible configuration interfaces or script files.
