Re: [orca-list] Skype's not accessible, but...

[Christopher Gray <chris bayareadigital us>]

Hi to all:

I do appreciate the suggestions on other software.  The problem is that none of 
them are cross-platform and/or mainstream solutions.  Given my use for this, 
Skype is the most viable, first-choice  solution.

Don't get me wrong.  I use Asterisk and would be intrigued in trying out some of 
these other packages.  But for my business, I would be served best by far with 
Skype.

Maybe this should be done off-list, but could somebody assist me in 
understanding QT4 and the problems of access with it?  I've received a note on 
the Skype Linux forum saying how they have chosen it because of its 
accessibility hooks.  It is admitted that these hooks are not yet being used, 
but clearly there's more than one school of thought on this.  I don;'t have the 
background to understand fully the situation.

THanks for any assistance.
