The discussion on kde-core-devel and kde-accessibility concluded to add 
kmag into a new kdeaccessibility module. Since noone disagreed with 
creating a new module kdeaccessibility, David Faure created it on 3 Jan.

The kdeaccessibility module is maintained by Gunnar and Pupeno.
It will contain (currently it is empty, we are preparing the moves):

KMag (a screen magnifier)
KMousetool (for people whom it hurts to click the mouse)
KMouth (for people who have lost their voice)
Konqui speaker plug-in (for text-to-speech conversion)
Kate speaker plug-in (for text-to-speech conversion)
(eventually also the AT-SPI -> KDE client side bridge, but that's future 
stuff)

It is still unclear where Pupeno's KDE text to speech deamon (currently 
known as Proklam, probably to be renamed into kttsd) will go - the KDEAP 
aggrees that kdebase or kdelibs makes more sense, but we can discuss this 
once the first version of the kttsd has been released.

We plan to make a release for KDE 3.0 and KDE 3.1 in a few weeks, and to 
release the next version together with KDE 3.2 - either independently but 
at the same point of time, or preferably as part of KDE 3.2. I suggest to 
decide this after we have made the first release of kdeaccessibility. Is 
that OK?

Olaf.
