It's going to come across that way, but I promise that's not how I mean what I'm about to say. I have offered to assist a few times, but haven't really had any takers. I am experienced in C programming. I don't have any real experience writing Linux kernel code, but I am willing to learn if doing so would help the Linux community. All I really need is someone to show me what I need to know or to tell me where I can find the information. I also need to know what it is that needs doing in the immediate future in Speakup and who is working on what. I would be happy to do what I can to help. * I sure hope that someone would get back to work on making a keyboard layout like JFW. That is the one thing that really bugs me about Speakup. I think it may make sense to some folks, but I think that the JFW layout is the most intuitive, and I don't care to switch back and fourth between keyboard layouts. There was once a layout for JFW-style keystrokes, but I don't think it has been kept up. I think more people would go for SpeakUp if that was available. GW-Micro was wise to implement this in W.E.
