Yes, but are you saying that there's nothing we can do about this?  Won't a
few of us on here at least try to have a conversation with the Sharpdevelop
folken?  I ask this because if that program can do a lot of what VS2010 can
do, and you run into somebody who can't afford VS2010, then it'd be a fine
choice for them, and blind individuals wouldn't be limited.  I don't like
limitations, and I like to see especially open source individuals put more
emphasis on accessibility.

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that can't handle it, like my aging and out of date desktop for instance?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
