Congratulations on your progress with this project, Jay!  Like others, I
confess having trouble understanding the full ramifications.  Could you or
Sina describe some vignettes from a user's perspective?

I think I understand that this technology would allow someone on a Windows
computer (e.g., running JAWS) to operate a remote Linux computer with
Orca.  Is that right?  Would JAWS need to be running after the connection
was made?  If so, would there be key conflicts to manage between JAWS and
Orca?

Does this technology also allow Java applications to be self voicing?  Do
they have to implement the Swing API according to accessibility
guidelines?  If one has a Java app installed, how would the self-voicing
part be added?

I know from the quality of your skills and the time you have invested in
this project that it is something with exciting potential.  I'm just
trying to get a better grasp of what it would and would not do.  If there
are any sample apps or audio demos that illustrate the possibilities, that
would be great.

Cheers,
Jamal
