Screenkey, updated - v0.2

Updated screenkey spec and rpms posted to http://makfinsky.fedorapeople.org/. There's still work to be done as these don't build correctly on F13 just yet.

Kudos to Pablo for replacing the root code with python-xlib! Excellent work.

Slick new presentation/teaching software - Screenkey

Building off the following software, I packaged up the screenkey software into an RPM for Fedora12. The software displays the keys you type in big letters on screen so that anyone watching the presentation/demo/session can see what you're typing. The video shows very clearly what it does. Try it!

Fine work from the Ubuntu community!

Will work on submitting for official inclusion into the packaging system this weekend.
