Hi Karen: I like your prospectives on this topic. Maybe an item which didn't 
seem as obvious to me was in the 90s it was much more likely to get phone 
support. Now, unless you are lucky-and-either fill out a web form if send an 
e-mail, it may be a mystery if the right person reads it or its ignored. On at 
least 2 occasions I wrote N V D A asking for a Linux version. I figured as it 
is based on Python, they might have been willing. But both times they said "no" 
As far as a general public having input, there seem to be folks writing scripts 
for both windows screen-readers, some free, some not. But I know for myself, at 
least as far as Speakup is concerned, while I have alot of contacts, since I am 
not a programmer or if there is a click, I am an outsider
Warmly
