Being heavily involved in the CCF work I of course agree with David's point. The problem may be timing. We are close to finalising a first full release of the CCF - but it may be until a bit into the autumn until we have a first more comprehensive vocabulary with Blissymbols (as first target - support for other freely available symbol libraries to follow later on). But we should be able to provide the basic CCF API to support before that. When is this PowerReader work envisaged to happen?
Other thoughts: It's rather important that text content from different sorces can be conveniently read via PowerReader - and not only plain text files as currently. It may, on the other hand be a quite heavy task to support several different major formats? One idea worth investigating could be PowerReader as an OpenOffice extension. The advantage being to have OO.o taking care of document and document format handling, as well as wider and cross-platform deployment, and just concentrating on the unique additional presentation features of PowerReader. Could the current Java app be reasonably smoothly integrated in OO.o (via some XUL wrapper etc.) or would this require some more complete re-write?

It would be great if PowerReader could be tied in to the Concept Coding
framework for symbolisation of words.
