Well, for instance the debian installation manual probably deserves an accessibility section... And if you feel like diving into debian you could help John Heim with his speechd-up package, to make it up to date with the debian policy, so that we may then add it to Debian. Yeah, I haven't been able to work on it this week. I put that speechd-up package together because I needed it for an automatic linux installation system we have at my work. I thought that if others can use it, that would be fine. But it's time I took it to the next level. I just haven't been able to work on it for one reason or another since you told me it was messed up. All I've had time to do is compile the speechd-up binaries. I stillhaave to fix/upgrade the init.d scripts and re-do the deb packaging I'm a systems admin for the University of Wisconsin Department of Mathematics and I know a little about everything but not a lot about anything. I'm no shell scripting guru. I know enough to be dangerous. I know next to nothing about packaging debs. I learned only what I needed to know so that I could build a package that would install speechd-up during an automatic linux install.The one advantage I have is that I have ready access to every kind of hardware you can name. But I wouldn't mind if someone would point out places where I've obviously gone off course.
