You give an example here of why console messages aren't read. But if |
| 12 |
that is your rationale here, I would like to see it stated in the GLEP |
| 13 |
why it *will* work there. On the previous discussion there was an |
| 14 |
example of a console message not being read fully/properly. This will |
| 15 |
happen to more people. What I was asking for is that such situation is |
| 16 |
either outlawed (ie. "People should just read, if they don't then it's |
| 17 |
not my problem") or recognised (ie. "It is known that people do not |
| 18 |
read, hence we propose to use a text-to-speech module and play the |
| 19 |
produced audio file, so the user can listen to the imporant message" -- |
| 20 |
idiotic example of course). |

Just to make things clear and properly defined. |
