hHi listers,

My machine did it again. I hear the keys being pushed and don't really know 
they are not reaching the message. When I find this out I just have to restart. 
If any of you have ever had this problem, I sure could use a hint. I am using 
JAWS 10.

Anyway, I wrote to say I am using JAWS and am very interested in this subject 
since I have not done that old fashioned COBOL for two years and don't have any 
intention of doing it again.

Susie

P.S. Also, I want to point out that our own Sina is an NFB scholarship winner. 
I know you are hoping for him to getthat big one.

Susie

Hi Sina, Laura, and Jared.

Thanks for the prompt and encouraging response. I guess some of the first 
questions we need to answer are the following:

* Where will the source code and binaries be stored?
* What type of licensing is most appropriate? I have some feedback from 
Peter Korn on that topic but would like to get the ideas from anyone on the 
list as wel.
* Who will be the owning person or group of the project?
* Currently, WE4Java is more or less geared specifically for Window-Eyes 
usage. If we are going to turn this into a truly multi-platform solution, I 
think we are going to have to begin hthinking of a more generalized design 
approach. That is one reason I wanted to get away from the  dependency on 
the Jacob COM API and the wsc bridge between WE4Java and Window-Eyes. I 
certainly don't want to move away from allowing Window-Eyes to use the java 
access technology. I just think we need to create a generalized java core 
with a JNI interface in which one dll would be written for Window-Eyes usage 
but other implementations could be written as well.
