Re: [orca-list] Voxin 1.14: Your opinion?

["John G. Heim" <jheim math wisc edu>]

You know, Kyle, a lot of people think it is a waste of time and 
resources to develop custom linux distros for the blind, like vinux. How 
would you like it if somebody came on this list and tried to put 
pressure on you to stop? I don't remember who initiated contact but when 
Jonathan Nadeau was working on Sonar linux, I offered him the entire 
resources of the International Association Of Visually Impaired 
Technologists. Personally, I can see valid points on either side of the 
blind-distro issue. But at the very least, I knew it was not my place to 
tell Jonathan how to use his time. I don't know what you are trying to 
accomplish here but you are way out of line.
