Hi James,<br><br>Absolutely not a problem at all. I am also working on finding a fix for the problems that developers can have while using speechd api with pyGTK as described here : <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/pygtk@daa.com.au/msg15868.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/pygtk@daa.com.au/msg15868.html</a><br>
<br>I discussed a solution to the problem with tomeu and erikos, and have been making changes in the API implementation to make speechd support asynchronous socket communication so that we can avoid a thread to perform network communication. We've figured out an approach to avoid threads in the API, and hopefully I'll have the alternate solution ready in 2-3 days. I'll be depending upon you to use the modified API in your application for testing purposes :)<br>

The RPM's and instructions you posted to the Wiki before *almost*
worked. Can we assume that you'll do something similar with your
debugged RPMs while awaiting sponsorship? Having my activity do TTS on
a real XO would make a big difference to my project. Not to mention
that I could finally show my wife why I've been spending so much time
in the basement programming.<br>

<br>
The basic package is ready to use, and a few more Q/A issues as
described in the bug report need to be resolved.<br>
<br>
The major Q/A issues to be resolved at the moment are :<br>
<ol>
<li>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.<br>
</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ol>
Hopefully, there wont be any more issues at the package review level
after I resolve the above issues.<br>
<br>
Since this is my first package the next step for me is to get <i><b>sponsored</b></i>.
I wrote 2 informal reviews for this purpose.<br>
<br>
The reviews I wrote can be found at : <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448292" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448292</a>
