I am 100% in agreement with the need to rename "gnome"-braille, if our 
community agrees that it is useful.  I don't see a need for any 
gnome-specific modules in it.

I would be happy to facilitate the restructuring of this library into 
something that the community could use, but we would need to make it a 
group effort to ensure that the library had an active developer 
community going forward.  That's one reason why I would prefer to see it 
hosted and enhanced as a client library in the "brltty" space.
