[Rwp] OSARA, an open-source ReaAccess replacement in development

[Jayson Smith]

You won't get any argument from me on those points. Not to mention that 
CakeTalking requires probably the most expensive screen reader on the 
market, and unless something recent has happened, hasn't been updated in 
a while, because of major changes made to Sonar itself. However, for my 
DAW, that is what I use, but I always welcome alternatives. When Reaper 
and ReaAccess first came on the scene, I played with it, but really 
couldn't get into it. Hopefully that will change.
