> > Here a proposal for handling write-ins from Phil Scruggs and Steve Carrow of Soza fame. Wanted to get it out there for comment from the CA folks at least. While it comes across as a little unwieldy, it seems about as reasonable as it is going to get to me at least, and has the distinction of being the only solution that has been seriously proposed.

> This is complete. The user interface is basically as Phil/Steve outlined, with some details worked out. The only major difference is that the '0' key is used to accept the current character rather than the '#' key. There isn't much point in a "review selection" key since the current selection is always part of the instructions being played to the voter. It also avoids the "double # to accept" unpleasantness. Anyway, the intent is that the user interface be self explanatory. Try it out and follow up with any suggestions.

> The instruction files were just created with text-to-speech right now. They'll need to be re-recorded professionally, and translated to Spanish. We are not wed to the specific script, so if you can improve on it feel free.

> Whomever is testing this for CA contact me directly and I'll get you a pre-release and the new audio instruction files. Once testing is complete we'll fold it into the mainline.
