Re: [orca-list] develop for orca

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

This should clarify a few things lost in that mechanized translation:

"Good morning, I am an engineer in the field of computing.  I am
writing from Venezuela and I am part of a group of Free software users
called CUSLANZ.  I am new to this list and I'd like to receive
guidance with regard to collaborating as a developer for the Orca
project.  Currently, we'd like to change the Spanish language voice
due to the fact that the one it's got has encountered a certain amount
of resistance because of its robotic sound.  We are activists and
defenders of Free technologies willing to contribute to this noble
project.  With nothing more to add and excusing myself for my English
errors (I am using a translator).

Attentively,
Luis Ernesto Rivero"
