I am interested in this effort, and I would also like to get ChromeVox
working. The problem with the latter is that I don't know how to obtain useful
debugging information, given that the Chrome/Chromium user interface isn't
accessible under Linux when ChromeVox isn't successfully running.

One question to which I don't have an answer is whether the Debian package of
Chromium includes the accessibility and TTS extensions needed by ChromeVox,
but I can pursue this inquiry further if nobody else is already doing so.

I am also in a position to compile software from source code and to apply
patches, given build instructions. If anyone is already building Debian
packages then I can obviously download those instead of duplicating effort.

I know just enough C++ to be able to understand the syntax and read code, but
not enough to program well in it.
