Hi all, Some or all of you may know me. I'm Ann Parsons. Kirk has asked me to write a FAQ about Speakup. I need your help. First, I would like you to send me any additional questions you think might be relevant. You could post them to the list, but it might clog things up, dunnow. Second, I need answers to the questions below and to the questions you propose for the FAQ. Again, post to me personally or to me and to the list. I would like to see this FAQ contain twenty-five questions, max! Any more than that, and people's eyes will glaze over. If I get more than twenty-five questions, I'll see if any can be dropped, or if they can be consolidated. I'm striving for a smooth, readable FAQ, not too technical, but technical enough to get someone started on using Speakup. Ann P. SPEAKUP FAQ q. what is Speakup? q. Who invented Speakup? q.
