Orca Helping with (was Re: and Mud)

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hey All:

My focus for Orca has been limited to providing compelling access to 
office productivity applications, so MUD is definitely something that 
would not have been on my RADAR screen.

What we're seeing here, however, is one of the many values of open 
source and the ability of a community to work well together in a 
productive and helpful way.  I think it is fantastic that Javier has 
written a script for MUD, and I encourage others to jump in and 
contribute to areas that they might want to explore.

For areas to consider where you might help, we've created a "How Can I 
Help?" section on the Orca WIKI: http://live.gnome.org/Orca.  It 
includes suggestions for both the technical and non-technical person.

I'm also open to discussions on improving the core of Orca itself.  We 
can learn a lot by looking back in time and learning from our successes 
and failures.  What may seem stupid now may have been a hard decision to 
make back then, but at least we made a decision and moved forward.  :-) 
 In addition, we can all keep adding value to Orca for each other by 
working together.  This stuff gives me goosebumps.

Thanks Javier!

Will
