I agree with that, and also lack of volunteers/support (it seems that
Amancio was doing all the "dirty" work).  

After the project was "put on hold" I started hacking the Voxware 3.5
mad16 driver, but gave up eventualy, because of lack of support (I am 
an EE hacking Unix for fun -I am not a wizzard hacker like some of
you). I also had a sense of lack of organization, since the whole Voxware
thing was a big hack and I just don't have sufficient knowledge / cloud to
be able to dictate a direction.

But, it looks like the time is right. If the project could be given a
direction and momentum (such as Steve Passe and the  SMP group did with
their project - they also did a great job providing "getting started"
tutorials - very important if you want to get "new volunteers") I think we
can get somewhere.

Best Regards, 
Bernie
