Re: [orca-list] Speech-dispatcher library for C#?

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

Dear Rastislav:

The way you speak of the old Eyes-Free Android list makes me wonder
whether you know that that group of people is still very active on a new
list, the ANTAD list. ANTAD is also a Google Groups list.

The reason they formed a new list is because Google was objecting to all
the non Android specific conversation you mention in your message here.
Please consider joining ANTAD on Google Groups. It's very much the same
open, free-wheeling environment and I'm confident you'd be most welcome.

Best,

Janina
