Is there a solution then?
Sure, there are several. We are just discussing what is
currently available, and what is the status of these projects to get
a more clear picture on what direction to take. Manpower is rare,
and it is a good idea to try to spend it wisely.
I don't mean this as a criticism -- by no mean>s. But maybe it would
be more productive to talk about what can be done rather than what
cannot.
Well, talking about what can be done always involves the
danger of discovering that something can't be done just yet.
I understand you are trying to defend a existing solution, but if we want
to integrate accessibility into the linux mainstream, we have to be careful
the solution we choose is going to be acceptable to the rest of the world.
speakup has been described as the holy grail to linux accessibility
by its users many times in the past, and I actually see where the
intusiasm comes from. This thread (or my posting to it) just tried to
clarify
why the speakup patch is a little bit too intrusive for mainstream
integration
just yet. This is not a criticism on the functionality provided
by speakup. Its a criticism on the particular implementation.
