One way to get started might be to check out the orca source code from
svn:
svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/orca/trunk orca
Then, in the directory src/orca/scripts, you can study example scripts
for several applications. Scripts for orca are written in python like
orca itself. I do not know if there is any formal documentation about
scripting orca.
Also, joining the orca mailing list and the #orca channel on
irc.gnome.org are good ways to get in touch with the community.
Best regards, Lukas
