Hi Michael,

The basic package is ready to use, and a few more Q/A issues as described in
the bug report need to be resolved.

The major Q/A issues to be resolved at the moment are :

   1. Conversion of CS language info file to UTF-8 encodings. I am having
   trouble finding the encoding of the file and then converting it correctly
   using iconv.
   2. Also I am working on an init script so that the speech-dispatcher
   daemon can be auto-started when the Operating System loads. The script is
   ready and has been included in the package. The init script has a few bugs
   in that it deletes the wrong pid file when the daemon has to be stopped. I
   will be fixing this bug in the next release.

Hopefully, there wont be any more issues at the package review level after I
resolve the above issues.

Since this is my first package the next step for me is to get *sponsored*. I
wrote 2 informal reviews for this purpose.

The reviews I wrote can be found at :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448292 &
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448458

Best,
Hemant
