I don't know... I want to make it clear that I really appreciate what the 
devlopers of speakup do. They are some of the smartest, most generous people 
around. But if the goal is to help as many people as possible, then I think 
they could make at least as great of an impact by improving communications 
as by improving the code.

Well, I've started this organization called the International Association of 
Visually Impaired Technologists. It seems to me that helping get information 
about speakup out there would tie in nicely with that project. I guess I'll 
get started.
