then it sounds like its time for those who are interested to go beat the orca developers vigorously about the head and shoulders with there canes until they give the needed information, eh?


smile, I have found quite often that the old saying "the squeaky gear gets the oil" is very true

I'll even join in some, since I will undoubtedly need some of this knowledge somewhere along the line, though the need hasn't come up yet.

take care,

From what I have seen there're no lists for orca scripting, nor
documentation available for it. I do think we should have this list,
as we should perhaps have a nvda scripting list, sinse this reader is
going really fast in its developement.
I guess, however, I can not help writting tutorials about how to
script orca, because I even haven't found an explanation about how is
the window structure in gnome apps (e.e if there are handles, control
ids and the like). This is what I miss, it wouldn't make seense to try
to make an app accessible without knowing first what we have in hands
to do that.

I definately have the impression that Orca and GUI access on Linux have
made major strides in progress this past year, so would encourage anyone
interested to check out this platform.  Sun, IBM, and Google, among
others, are committed to Linux and have shown genuine interest in
accessibility.  I think they would welcome feedback from blind people
doing GUI application development in that area.

Does anyone here happen to know if there is a scripting list for Orca, and
if so, how to subscribe?
