I would strongly urge everybody on this list to contribute something to NVDA.
Even $5 or $10 from each one of you would go a long way to the development of
their software.
We have to support projects like this. Otherwise, companies like Freedom
Scientific will continue to charge exorbitant fees for software for the blind.

Great job on NVDA -- I am a jaws user, but the times I have used NVDA when
jaws is crashed, I find it to be really impressive for an opensource project
this young. It's good the braille is coming along.
Just thought I'd mention it.

Hi there,
It is my first message on this list, so here goes a brief introduction.
My name is Aleksey, I am from Kyiv, Ukraine. I am a student of the
Faculty of Computer Science at National University of "Kyiv-Mohyla
Academy". Besides other activities, I am one of developers of NVDA, a
free and open-source screen reader for Windows.

You're right, it is introduced in the latest snapshots. See global
plugins. One issue is that i don't know about any tutorials on how to
start with NVDA scripting, you have to look through NVDA source code to
find how to do this and that. If someone is willing to write some, it
will be very appreciated. I feel that I can't do it well myself, since I
am not English native speaker and am not able to write nicely.
nevertheless, scripting in NVDA is very powerful since one has all the
power of Python programming language with its "batteries included"
concept. However, since NVDA is designed in very object-oriented way,
one should understand a bit of OOP concepts (though not obligatory) to
manage it.
I will be happy to consult everyone, who expresses the wish to learn how
to create NVDA plugins and write some tutorials afterwards.
