Ok, after some googling, I found it.

I appreciate that you went to the effort to ensure the site was usable by all, and that a CMS was used to develope the site. Since its seems Brailcom have everything that is needed, perhaps the move to freedesktop is not so important, however it is something to keep in mind for the future, shoudl speech-dispatcher become the speech standard for Linux Luke
