Well, not sure. I tried putting their contact in the Cc list.

Yes, I guess Neo900 people would profit from working Debian. Most of
the userland should be the same, yes.

libcmtspeechdata will probably not be needed/be very different. Plus
there are hw dependend parts in ofone.

Plus I guess kernel will be very different... and there's probably
quite a lot of work in it :-(.

Anyway, yes, contact to kernel/userland developers from neo900 would e
nice. (And if they are none, hey, I guess I could be hired for that
:-).

Best regards,
