responsibility for speakup, was: Re: Help with serial synths in 4.X kernels

[Scott Henning]

Hello all,

This was quite a thread. I am usually only reading, since I have yet to 
make Speakup work for long and I need to keep Windows going to have 
work. My thanks to all for the technical and philosophical insights.  I 
stay on the list because my needs may change and a console with speech 
strikes me as a practical way to use a computer. Braille is not my 
strong point and I would flounder using it, but appreciate that it is 
also a possible future solution.

I remember the dialogue to work with the kernel developers and the 
response.  My sense is that everyone is busy and most of this 
development is done as volunteers. That applies to both Speakup and the 
kernel. Or is development on the kernel done by paid programmers?

All I have to say is thanks to all who are passionate and dedicated to 
Speakup and Linux to keep working on it. It gives me hope I will be able 
to use it when I am ready, because there will be this pool of code 
contributed on this project.

Sincerely,

Scott
