Re: [g-a-devel]GNOME Accessibility for Developers

[David Bolter <david bolter utoronto ca>]

Brian,

Of course I am happy to help in any way I can (given that, like most of 
us, I am pretty swamped).  If you would like to put me on a cc list for 
reviewing drafts maybe that would work.  Or simply ping the lists when 
the page is updated.

If there are plans to create a document from the client perspective of 
the at-spi, I would be happy to apply a little more knowledge there. 
Though I should fix all the gok bugs first instead of corrupting new AT 
client developers ;-)

cheers,

David
