Nice to hear this.  I am looking forward to seeing your comparative
assessment of missing features, and especially looking forward to seeing
Hypra-written patches appear in various upstream repositories.

While reading this, I can not help to notice that this plan only seems
to have new stuff on its plate.  I wonder if you also plan to work on
existing kinks/bugs in the current system.

And I truly hope your choice of Compiz is not going to add to the
fragmentation we already have.  I have always been a strong proponent of
supporting systems that are used by "everyone else".  I guess Compiz is
far away from being a "ghetto system", but I still wonder.  If it were
that widespread, it would have more support by developers, and probably
wouldn't have fallen out of Debian in the first place.

In any case, I wish you all the best for your project.
I am certainly happy that you decided to choose Debian as a base system
for your work on Accessibility.
