Okay, anyone interested in joining the project can subscribe to the
official mailing list (sounds fancy!) set up for the project at:
http://isawit.com/mailman/listinfo/php-vox
I'm looking forward to getting into discussions and debates, and getting
the project off the ground.

flooding the PHP list with stuff about a specific project) and other

Tedd,
If you want, I'll zip up my compiled binary of Festival for you to try
on your system. I'll put it up on one of my servers so that you can
download it.
I really like Richard's idea of making a PECL component for Festival
there's something to look into this weekend

No, that's one of my servers. In all honesty, though, a dedicated
server or VPS is so cheap nowadays that it's almost not worth going with a
shared host anymore for any "real" programming. Because if you pay for your
own server (this one is less than $60 per month) and administer it yourself

Most "text to speech" techniques concentrate on making the browser or
