Great! Just put something for testing, we will fix it. This has already
been discussed for Festival, so we can do as we do for Festival. I just
don't know now what punctuation exactly it is. I will ask tomorrow.
Different users will configure it to their wish anyway, but we should
provide a reasonable default.

Can you please at least add explanatory comments into the
espeak-generic.conf file (as for the other options)? Any further
improvements into documentation later are of course great.

Please, if the code works and your version of espeak-generic.conf works,
check it in as soon as possible. Documentation is an important but
separate thing.

Yes and no. The correct thing to do is to update your CVS tree. This is
the name of the CVS command too (cvs update). Update will update your
tree with all the changes done by other people working on the project
and won't destroy your own changes you have not commited yet. In case
there will be any conflict, you will be notified and you will be able to
resolve the conflict manually by editing the file.

The only real trouble is if two persons work on the same thing in an
incompatible way (they implement different solutions :( Then someones
effort is wasted. But this can be easily prevented by communication on
the mailing list and coordination of efforts.

Thank you & have a nice day,
