Hola TV, Charles, Steve,

  We have secured some help through the Google Summer of Code program 
to work on the tagin! indoor positioning engine over the summer, and I 
would like to gather your thoughts on how to go about providing indoor 
navigation services for blind users on Android. (I am cc'ing Shawn and 
Monty from the Loadstone GPS project here since they may want to offer 
their own suggestions or comments).

  Specifically, I would like to know which one of your Android 
open-source products do you think are best suited to provide indoor 
navigation functionality? It seems to me that Walky-Talky would be the 
most appropriate but I would like to hear your thoughts.

  More generally, I would also like to invite you all to provide 
guidance and feedback as we go on with the work. We definitely want to 
create something that is not only useful to blind people but also has a 
very good chance of being included in your products, so your early 
advice and continued support will be essential. Looking forward to 
hearing your thoughts.

cheers!
