[orca-list] OT: brailleBlaster was Re: liblouisutdml for sonar

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi
That reminds me. This is very much off topic hear so I'll change teh
subject. What ever happened with brailleBlaster? I kept my eye on it,
but it seems like the linux version fell further and further behind
while the windows and mac version was kept updated. This would be a
fantastic thing to put in a disability focused distro like sonar or
vinux, but I can't seem to find anything up to date. I can find some
older bb 1.x tarballs, but nothing newer for linux. There's a windows
installer and an OSX disk image, but those won't work for linux.
Thanks
Kendell Clark
