[orca-list] progress of progress bars is not reported., is it a known thing?

["krishnakant Mane" <researchbase gmail com>]

hello,
I find that in all cases progress of the progress bars is not reported.
if this is a known bug then there are 2 things which can be done.
in the first phase at least make sure when the flat review keys are
used and if the progress bar is encountered, the current status should
be reported.  like for example when running brasero for burning cds,
pressing the read previous line comes to the progress bar.
may be we can report the current (approximate ) status if % is not given?
secondly, orca should track the changes and report its state every
time the progrtess bar increments.
can this be easily done?
I want to start developing for orca, can this be an easy thing to do
as a start.  I am asking this because there are millions who will
complain and demand but very few who actually fix the bugs themselves.
please give me some good starting points on gnome accessibility with
respect to how we are using it in orca.  secondly please guide me as
to where I can easily start contributing towards development of orca.
by the way which is thebest accessible version of open office?  I stil
can't get any proper accessibility for tables in open office writer
(word processor).

regards,
Krishnakant.
