First and foremost, Open Mary is written in Java, which presents a challenge in trying to integrate Open Mary 
into speech-dispatcher such that it is a first class citizen. I also have it on good authority that there are 
some technical issues with Open Mary that likely need to be resolved before any work can be made to better 
integrate Open Mary into speech-dispatcher. All are solvable, but once again it comes down to someone wanting 
to scratch the itch, finding the time to do the work, and working with both Open Mary and speech-dispatcher 
devs to get things done.
