I believe Vinux could become more popular between users in Poland if good
russian language support would be integrated there.
Az a ham operator I know that tere are many people in Germany Italy Israel,
USA and other countries who are interested in Accessible Russian
environment. Linux, az I understand it, is about making world more opened
and more friendly for people. Thanks for working on this Russian project
then.

Bill, thanks! Of course, we must do everything to get speech back-end
suitable for everybody and I will do what I can to integrate voiceman into
Vinux (or any other distribution).  For long time there wasn't any interest
to voiceman from outside of Russian community, so I didn't thought about
English information page for voiceman. Only Russian one is now accessible. 

It is necessary to register voiceman as a project on sf.net and I will send
message here and to Vinux mailing list when this work is done.

GIT contains quite stable version, code is ready to release. I just want to
improve documentation.
