Fwd: Proposed module: conduit

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Lots of module proposals coming in.  We should make sure we look at them for accessibility.  Here's one for 'conduit'.  Has anyone taken a look at it yet?  The usual applies: 1) honoring theming, 2) keyboard traversal, 3) access via Orca, etc.

Will

> Short description:
> ==================
> Conduit is a synchronization architecture for the GNOME desktop. It
> provides an intuitive GUI for synchronizing things and a DBus interface
> for external applications to do the same.

> Requires new external dependencies:

> goocanvas, pygoocanvas, python 2.5

> Summary so far:
> ===============
> + use the GNOME infrastructure
> + a few releases since the proposal
> + good integration with popular GNOME applications by providing
> synchronization of the data
> + people generally like conduit, but are not happy with the UI
> + accessibility support seemed to be missing
> + gnome-keyring support was to be added back (had been taken out
> because of a crash)
