From a thread regarding a speech-friendly installer for another Linux distro:
There’s definitely interest. I’d even learn the process for doing that for the sole purpose of contributing. Thanks for looking into it, William.

Hash: SHA1Hi all,
I would like to get this done on gentoo, I just haven’t attempted to coordinate it with release engineering yet. My plan is for our latest version of speakup and espeakup to go stable, then I will work with release engineering to get it put onto our official cds.
I’m not sure how to build a minimal cd myself, but if there is interest, I can ask release engineering about how that would be done for testing.

I loves me some open source community talk, yo. Try doing *that* with Windows, or Mac.
PS: William = team lead for gentoo‘s accessibility project. Also known as the guys who maintain screenreader software’s compatibility with that particular flavour of linux. Also, keep in mind, that entire discussion took place on a publicly accessible mailing list over the course of a few hours. You are not going to get that from Micro$oft.
