Re: [g-a-devel] First impressions for gnopernicus 0.11.4

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman Sun COM>]

Hi Daniel:

Gnumeric and AbiWord don't provide sufficient support for ATK to be very 
accessible yet, it seems.  You might try emailing the developer lists 
for those packages to let them know that screenreader users would like 
to have access to their software.  The problems there are not with 
gnopernicus, but with the degree to which the applications themselves 
support the accessibility features of Gnome.  Since both use Gtk+2, the 
basic accessibility "hooks" are there, but the Gnumeric and AbiWord 
developers need to implement ATK interfaces for the custom widgets which 
those apps use.

OpenOffice works with gnopernicus now.  Evolution also works with 
gnopernicus, other list members will be able to tell you more about 
problems and workarounds.  You'll need pretty recent versions of both 
packages for best results, as the accessibility support in Evolution, 
Mozilla, and OpenOffice is still improving rapidly from release to release.

regards

Bill
