  Yes it was.  In some of it's ancient versions.  But with downgrading comes 
feature degradation, so considering it's an open source project, I'm hoping 
that I can rally a bunch of you guys to talk to the developers and then to 
maybe join it?  I would if my programming skills were stronger, but 
unfortunately, I'd only botch everything if I did that.  As the leader of a 
blindness advocacy group (see my last post for our web site), I'm asking a 
favor.  30 or 40 people is better than one.  The editor that the project uses 
is called Avalon editor, and that's where the issue is, as well as in the 
dialog boxes.  I like visual studio 2010, but what about for computers that 
can't handle it, like my aging and out of date desktop for instance?  And what 
about for those folken who can't afford it?

    Hi there folks,

    I've talked to the developers of SharpDevelop regarding accessibility with 
screen readers in the latest version, and they say that they have too much on 
their plate to worry about it.  I was pretty strong in my reply back saying 
that if they weren't going to do it, then I'll get somebody who would.  Has 
anyone else here downloaded that and looked at the apalling things they've done 
to it?  Just curious.  Thanks.  

     

    Katherine
