Hi Well, I'm not sure how the system works, but over here we have summer code camps where developers come together and tackle a particular problem. I don't know who organises them nor who picks the projects to be worked on. There must be a number of possible solutions. I personally like the idea of raising funds to employ a blind Linux user for a while in order to tackle the problem.

Subject: Re: gentoo drops speakup Hey yeah, if we can get some funds to actually pay coders that would be nice. If we could get some volunteers to help out with a lot of the various speakup projects that would be nicer. If we could get some consistant volunteers to even help maintane our web site and code repositories that would also be very nice. In other words, dedicated help of many types would be nice. We have had people take on responsibilities over the past years but they sort of taper off after a bit. So don't feel sheepish. If you or anyone can help in anyway just let me know.
