Re: Fwd: Proposed module: conduit

[Li Yuan <Li Yuan Sun COM>]

Accessibility is a problem for conduit. The GUI is simple, but the left 
tree view doesn't support keyboard navigation well. Also one has to drag 
some items to the right "sync area", there is no way to do this by 
keyboard. And the "sync area" is not accessible. I suspect accessibility 
work is need by goocanvas.
