AFAIK, there are two people working on Speakup Modified Fedora:
Bill Acker and Janina Sajka.

Nope, ArchLinux isn't dpkg-based at all.  Its package format is a bit
like Slackware's, but the Arch package manager does dependency resolution,
along with other nice things.

ArchLinux is a general-purpose distribution,
and it isn't accessible out of the box.
If you are blind, then the best way to install it is via my talking
install disk.  It's a modification of the official install CD.
I call it TalkingArch.
TalkingArch is only supported by one person, namely myself.
