trouble with CVS and a request for votes

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi all,

Ok, here's my opinion for what it's worth.
Since the cursorring issue is not yet compleetly resolved,
and since a few of us seem to be experiencing the system-freezing
bug with the new cut and paste feature when trying to copy more
then 1 line, I think speakup should stay as 0.11.
Only when all known bugs are totally iliminated, should speakup come out as 1.0.
Greg
