I've haven't been working on the XO lately (my basement office had to go through Mold Remediation after a flood) but I have been monitoring this mailing list every day. When I last did any development work on the XO it was to create a mostly successful text to speech feature for the Read Etexts activity. Using this successfully would require some RPMs installed on the XO that Hemant Goyal was working on for Fedora, plus a newer version of Python that resolved some problems caused by threading. What I remember is that if you used threading at all in your activity it prevented power management from working.
I've been cleaning up my basement after the tile installers finished and there is some hope that I can resume working on my activity, at least a little. I have my XO upgraded to the latest release of Sugar and it looks like Speech Dispatcher still is not part of that release. I'm well aware of all the other work going on with the XO and I don't kid myself that this should be a priority for anyone, but if someone could bring me up to date on what's happening with text to speech on the XO I'd be much obliged.
