I don’t get this.  Who is shunning you?  Just because others have different 
priorities that does not mean that they’re shunning you, as you put it.  Seems 
to me that there’s a touch of paranoia creeping in here. :)

|As for development, that’s good.  But just because others opt to go other 
routes means nothing.

In terms of the Pi®, I have read stuff about it here and there and, come a time 
when I’m not so busy with other little things like work, broadcasting, and 
various other things, I may well look seriously at the project.  But right now 
I don’t really think there would be much advantage to me personally from 
becoming involved.  I don’t need a DAISY player, I have them on a number of 
platforms.  In fact, one can even publish DAISY now from within Windows without 
having to chew on with OpenOffice and assorted plug-ins.  The DAISY Consortium 
has now released their own publisher which works very well actually.  Dolphin 
Computer Access used to be the only realistic publishing solution on Windows 
until OBI came along.

But I’m getting off the point.  The point here is that yes, the project has 
interest.  But I’m puzzled by your outlook on this to be honest.

After all, we were promised by a number of people that when we got our 
broadcasting project off the ground they would join us.  But that has not 
happened.  Are they shunning us?  Of course not.  They just have their own 
priorities and interests.  That’s fair enough.  At this time I have no 
intention of becoming involved with RP.  Why?  It’s very simple really.

Kind regards

I take your point, maybe to you to yes however as I said, we're doing it for 
our own satisfaction more than anything else and if it can benefit anyone then 
fine! and it proves the point I made earlier, if anyone tries to develop or 
work on anything then they seem to be immediately shunned.
