[nvda] Re: e: Blog on NVDA web access grant work

I'm so pleased you got the grant. By the way, I'm a little bit slow on playing with NVDA but I put it in my start-up menu and now it automatically loads when I start the computer. This is good because I really want to get familiar with it before I show it to a couple students who can't afford JAWS right now. It would help them out in a jam if they need it. they're going to college and I want them to be prepared as much as possible.

Hi Mick and List,
If anything, the grant made the best decision by giving NVACCESS this oppertunity. I'm glad to hear this and now am positive that one day NVDA will be one of the most powerful screen readers out there. Even now it can come in handy when JAWS crashes and I can't restart it because of a program error. Congratulations to you guys with the grant and good luck with developing NVDA!

Hi all,



As some of you may know, NV Access (the supporting organisation

of NVDA) has

received a grant from the Mozilla Foundation.  This grant is to

enable myself

and Jamie (the other person working on the grant) to improve

NVDA's support

for viewing content in Mozilla Gecko (in such apps as Firefox,

Thunderbird,

and Chatzilla).



Many thanks go to Frank Heker and others of the Mozilla

Foundation for

providing the grant, and of course thanks also go to Vic and

Aaron for

helping us with getting the grant proposal written up properly.



I have started a blog for both NVDA and the web access grant

work, and it

can be found at:
http://www.nvda-project.org/blog/



I have made one post so far, which outlines the current problems

with NVDA's

support, and also covers what Jamie and I have been able to get

done in the

first two or so weeks of the grant.



Although this grant focuses soley on Mozilla Gecko, the code

written will be

modular enough, so that it wil be quite easy to also later

improve support

for other Web Browsers and Document readers (as NVDA must be able

to work

with more than one browser / reader if its to be a useful tool

for the

blindness community).  Where possible, it will also be built as a

stand-alone

library so that other Assistive technologies can also make use of

the code.


I plan to write blog entries to do with the web access grant

probably once

every two weeks or so.



More information about NVDA (the free and Open source screen

reader for

Windows) can be found at:

If anyone has any questions or thoughts about the grant, please

feel free to

email myself, or submit comments to the blog entries.



Mick
