 +==== Development status ====
 +
 +
 +  * Matthieu: Documentation, code refactoring and comments are in progress.
 +  * Laurent: Evaluation of speech synthesizers in progress:
 +    * For now, we have at least one solution which consists of using eSpeak as the speech engine and ship Mail2Voice with non-free MBrola voice which guarantees better results. Of course, we will have to be really clear on the fact that a non-free software is embedded along with Mail2Voice but the MBrola license allow that for non commercial use and it will remain optional.
 +
 +** Reminder for developers: please use the BugTracker as much as possible. **
 +
 +Following roadmap still applies:
 +
 +  * More comments (!)

 +==== Project Management ====
 +
 +  * We have a new contributor, welcome Diana Ibanescu! She wants to develop for Mail2Voice.
 +  * Matthieu proposed to plan regular coding sessions with Diana. This should allow for more productive code on short time period and to help each other for a better understanding of the project and goals.
