Making it usable and making more people to use Dhvani may be the
immediate goal as far as I see. But anyone can come up with better
goal / code and provide patch, it is always welcome.

Students and people interested in linguistics / languages (especially
Indian languages).

We need people with interest. Knowing Indian language is necessary.
Knowing multiple will greatly help in comparing and understanding
things better. And coding (or logical thinking) skill is required.

So far I have fixed memory leaks and cleaned up the code. There exists
a TODO list in the repository.
I started moving the build system to cmake from autotools but it is
not finished yet. It will make porting to Android, windows easier.
Also understanding / editing autotools files are difficult so this
will help in development also.

Target audience will be a better term I think. Funding not in a
commercial sense (where people expect returns as money). Target
audience are Indian people and the aim is to reduce the digital divide
(I see Dhvani as a small step in tackling a bigger problem - small
drop that makes a ocean).

Thanks and Regards,
