Right John, I agree but have to disagree too. I have started helping for the first time a site that I run software for my router off of. It is called www.xwrt.org they make a web interface for Wrt project which can be found at http://www.openwrt.org. But working for instance with a wiki is a bit of a trick. That seems to be about how 90% (percent) of the open source docs are kept. Now as for speakup, I do not use Speakup I do all admin chores remotely through a Windows computer which works fine for me. So as for Speakup I don't use it but like to keep current on it. I don't know how to program in Linux at all. I don't expect Kirk to do everything either but it is very good to voice. That might just be how the Speakup gets changed at some point. I myself would like to see Speakup in the kernel and user space we would have the best of both world.
