BJORN For extendability, simplicity and keeping in FG's "everything is done procedurally" spirit, I'd suggest a text-to-speech system (yes, you may cringe), if there is a FOS one. But that's a future issue.
I asked for text-to-speech 3-4 years ago on IRC, our dear hackers guide me to a engine created by some UK University that I don't remember it's name. I good friend of mine 727 retired pilot lost his voice due to cancer, suddenly I understood how important is the accesibility. Without doubt it will be a gem for FG. Our 727 is not a gem, but he was very impressed about how intrepid can be the freesoftware people: Trying to help I give him all the info links, we find nice info, however we are not programers, anyway I don't loose the faith.
In other side, but related with FG promotion, as I commented in my first post:

Loud, we are part of a culture we add free culture and common sense to our simulator and to your world.
We are not alone FSF - GPL - Blender - GIMP - OPENAL - GIT - mediagoblin - Inkscape

FSF released "giving guide 2012"

I think is a good opportunity to show us versus FS-X-PLANE privative software model.
We have a lot of advantages versus privatives.
15 years, mature, multiplatform, sofisticated flight simulation software under GPL ETC
The best community. ETC
We are one of the great GPL big games. But we are a simulator not a game. We have presence atn universities, museums, real life events such a linuztag and fsweekend. ETC
FG is a good example ot it. We use Gimp, Inscaspe, Blender. We can use mediagoblin to share 3-D models and we can print those aircraft models using the LuzlBolt 3D printer. We can connect to arduino, android, and to Mathlab (wishing for a free solution). We are friends of emacs editor.
We have a charity program. And of course a better assistance than privative competitors.
ETC ETC.
Please can anyone help , requesting and improving a short versus (comparative) article for this great initiative?
Will help a lot doing fgembassy program reliable. Because we are not alone

Thanks.
