I'm not sure.  That's why I'm asking.

I've talked to Jeremy Whiting about porting Jovie and maybe Kmouth to PA. To 
make it easily accessible to people with dissabilities. And/Or kletters or 
other apps that could be very usefull in a touch enviroment not just for 
people with disabilities but also for children (to learn how to read) and 
people who want to learn annother language, for example.

I'm still researching though.

Sincerely,
