It says it's 100% open-source, but I can't seem to find the sources for the Jasper platform (not the Jasper client).

Even the "compile Jasper from scratch" installation method involves downloading some binaries: http://jasperproject.github.io/documentation/software/#insta...

The client code at https://github.com/jasperproject/jasper-client comprises all of the source. The modified Raspbian distribution linked to in the Software Guide only includes supporting libraries and some configuration files.

Ok, but why do I have to both install some binaries and clone jasper-client?

I think it would help if you briefly described in the docs what https://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperproject/files/usrloca... contains, since it's fairly large (75 MB).

Although smaller, the same goes for https://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperproject/files/usrloca...

Otherwise, great initiative!

Thanks! Yes, we'll be sure to clear that up-- the binaries were for a few CMUCLTK and Phonetisaurus libraries that were difficult to compile on Raspberry Pi.
