Re: Orca accessible news group binary downloaders

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Cody:

There's also Liferea, which is an aggregator for online news feeds.  It
won't work out of the box, but Orca community member Javier (Yeah
Javier!) has been doing some work on a script for it:

    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350233

Please give it a try - it is something we should include in the Orca
2.18 release if people have good success with it.  Note the comment at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350233#c12, which says it
works with the liferea-gtkhtml engine.

I'm still a dinosaur when it comes to news feeds, blogging, and the
like, so I'm not sure how to use Liferea.
