Re: [orca-list] implementing contracted braille

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Josh:

Wow!  This would be great.  Before you get too involved, let's talk 
about various ways to accomplish this.  We've been going over the 
contracted braille puzzle a lot lately, so we probably should share 
thoughts.

To answer your question, we try to keep some level of backwards 
compatibility with BrlTTY 3.7.2.  But, I'm also very comfortable with 
saying "if you want contracted braille, use BrlTTY 3.8" if contracted 
braille cannot be done with BrlTTY 3.7.2.  Furthermore, in Orca's 
braille.py module, you can infer that you're working with BrlTTY 3.8 or 
better if the useBrlAPIBindings field is True.

Thanks!

Will
