Re: [orca-list] Accessibility issues with Mozilla firefox in The latest development version of Opensuse

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi:

There are a number of operating system distributions that are available. 
 While providing a choice is good for users, it does present a certain 
burden on software developers, especially when it comes to distributions 
integrating different things in different ways.

The model I have chosen to use for providing free support for free open 
source software that I'm in charge of is to focus on the most efficient 
use of resources I have.  I personally work on the operating system 
distributions most relevant to me -- OpenSolaris is currently the 
biggest one for me with Ubuntu taking second.  There is no third.  :-(

However, note that I mentioned 'efficient use of resources I have.'  I 
view this orca-list as a large supply of good resources.  So, if there 
is someone out there with OpenSUSE experience and who can take a look at 
this problem, it would be awesome.  Otherwise, you might need to take 
this up with the OpenSUSE folks directly.  I wish I could help you more. 
 :-(
