Well, comparing this list to some other lists I run the topics here are just about as close as one could get to staying on topic. I really don't want any list Nazis going on here. As far as I am concerned if it is about speakup/gnu/linux/synthetic speech or applications relating to those topics it is on topic. What is not on topic is maybe brailletty subjects or race cars, lotteries are pretty suspect also unless I'm the winner. I'm not crazy about Chihuahuas or Taco Bell for that matter so they're probably off topic also.
