Dear lwn people,

Emacspeak, the famous blind support running under Linux (and other Uni*es)
was chosen to be

 "preserved in the Smithsonian Institution's Permanent Research Collection
  on Information Technology so that future generations may learn about the
  Information Age from the men and women who are creating this current day
  revolution."

See the attached announcement of Mr. Raman, the author of emacspeak.

PS.: Watch the New Scientist who will shine up on Dec. 12th. The article
     of interest will also be available online at 
     http://www.newscientist.com. Theme will be "The Wild Bunch..."
     starring Open Source hackers and other wild riders  :) 


Enjoy!
Hans

Friends--

Emacspeak has been picked to become part of the Smithsonian
Institute's Innovation collection for next year.

I have a very short time to put together a short case study
on Emacspeak  that will become part of their collection.
As part of this case study, I need to include some user
feedback which is why I am posting this to the list.

Below, I'll attach an introductory paragraph 
along with the questions I'd like user response for;
please get your responses in to me by Sunday, Dec 13.
In your response, please clearly indicate if you want your
name attached to your feedback 
or whether you would like to remain anonymous.


Introduction:
-------------


Computerworld Smithsonian Awards Case Study

This case study will be preserved in the Smithsonian Institution's
Permanent Research Collection on Information Technology so that future
generations may learn about the Information Age from the men and women who are
creating this current day revolution.


--------------------------------------------------

Here is the section of the case study where I will be
incorporating user feedback:


-Success

Has your project achieved or exceeded its goals?
Is it fully operational?
How many people benefit from it? If possible, include an example of how
the project has benefited a specific individual, enterprise or
organization.  Please include personal quotes from individuals who have directly
benefited from your work. Describe future plans for the project.
