-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [VINUX] Did Nostradamus Predict the Release of Vinux 1.5? Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2009 11:55:46 -0700 (PDT) From: drbongo <tony.sales@xxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: vinux-development@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: The Vinux Development Forum <vinux-development@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> No he didn't! But if he had he might have predicted some of the following features for the next version of your favourite accessible open-source operating system: The installation and configuration of Speech-Dispatcher as the default speech system for Orca and Espeak without the loss of multi-channel sound facilities. The addition of LinuxSpeaks and Emacspeak as two alternative x- terminal or purely console based audio desktops for the beginner and advanced user respectively. The reconfiguration of YASR to use the Festival speech synthesizer by default to provide a higher quality emergency backup screen-reader for the x-terminal or the console. The installation of accessibility toolbars and plugins for Firefox which allow the user to tweak the layout, fonts and colours of the internet on the fly. The installation of xcalib and configuration of xbindkeys to provide colour inversion as well as the ability to change the brightness, contrast and RGB colours of the x display without using Orca or Compiz. A larger font and higher contrast theme for the Gnome desktop by default as well as the inclusion of extra accessibility themes and icons. Support for the Spanish, French, German, Dutch and Flemish languages and keyboard layouts out of the box. Mousekeys will be enabled out of the box --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Vinux Development Forum" group.
