question about this list

[Willie Walker]

No problem Pia - thanks for the explanation.

I'm curious if speech-dispatcher may be of interest to you.  Since 
you're talking about putting things in the kernel, however, I suspect it 
might be too user level for you.  The reason I ask, however, is that 
we're trying to supplant gnome-speech with speech-dispatcher and we can 
use help shoring up the code.
