Hi Daniel, I'd like to suggest a slightly different way you can help. We'd like to make sure that there is at least one GNOME accessible application in areas like playing audio, ftp transfer, bit-torrent client etc. There are three Orca bugs open at the moment related to this:
We've also started Orca scripts for applications like rhythmbox and planner. What would be extremely useful is for somebody to take these applications for a drive and report on accessibility/usability problems. If you can file bugs in GNOME Bugzilla (against product Orca initially) on the problems you find, that would be even better. At that point, we can evaluate what the problem is, and suggest ways that we can fix it. Hopefully we can get the original application maintainers to fix their bugs, but if not, we can (if possible) describe how we could work around the problem using an Orca application script. At that point we can start helping you learn how to write simple Orca python scripts. Does that sound like something you'd be interested in helping with? Thanks. -------- Original Message --------
Hi, If I want to work on orca (A bit of scripting and some general stuff...) What do I need to know? I would like to help fix bugs make open office, firefox, thunderbird, rythmbox and some other applications more accessible. So would I just need to know how to script orca? Also I want to look into support for "qt" applications. Is this possible? Or am I dreaming...? So what do I need to know? Just python? Are there any apis I should learn? I have done some basic C and that is about all. So if I need to know python does anyone know of a good book? I am blind as well so I obviously need a book in an accessible format...
