Re: Other Software Synthesis Options for Gnome

Hey Luke,

As Rich's forward to the list indicates, ahem, <snif>, we're working on it 
;)

The gnome-speech driver worked fine with Theta 2.5.0, so something has 
changed since 2.5.0 causing things to not work.  I'm waiting on 3.0 to 
develop a Swift gnome-speech driver.  I'd be interested as to how many 
people are currently using Theta, if any.  Should we leave the Theta 
driver in place and add a Swift driver, or should we remove the Theta 
driver and replace it with one for Swift?
