Gnome, gnopernicus, and X-Windows questions

[ccrawford at acb.org]

	It really rips me that we spend millions of dollars in government 
to accomplish accessibility with esoteric and stupid projects that do 
little more than create jobs for people who just love to process stuff, 
while hard core progress could have been made with the FUI and access in 
Linux.  Why should we have to do all that installing and compiling to 
simply get x-windows to talk right?  I surely do appreciate the great 
volunteer work that has been done to get the hooks in a development kit, 
but it just drives me up a wall to think that we could have funded good 
work and gotten it done much more quickly.

	You all should know that I am telling folks in the funding world 
that we simply have to pay reall attention to development rather than 
another conference or train the damn trainer program.  If we just bought 
the package and had the access in the box, then how much money would we 
not have to spend on another conference on how come we are not working?

	OK, off the soap box but really; Speakup for example is a great 
contribution to our lives and how come we are not getting the funding it 
needs as well as other products?  That hhas to change and while it may 
take a little time, it will.
