Nice to hear this. I am looking forward to seeing your comparative assessment of missing features, and especially looking forward to seeing Hypra-written patches appear in various upstream repositories. While reading this, I can not help to notice that this plan only seems to have new stuff on its plate. I wonder if you also plan to work on existing kinks/bugs in the current system. And I truly hope your choice of Compiz is not going to add to the fragmentation we already have. I have always been a strong proponent of supporting systems that are used by "everyone else". I guess Compiz is far away from being a "ghetto system", but I still wonder. If it were that widespread, it would have more support by developers, and probably wouldn't have fallen out of Debian in the first place. In any case, I wish you all the best for your project. I am certainly happy that you decided to choose Debian as a base system for your work on Accessibility. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕
