Re: [orca-list] developing orca



Out of curiosity, wouldn't FireFTP extension not work for FTP needs?

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:


424524 <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424524>         enh     Nor     NEW     
        orca    Script support for gftp.
424525 <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424525>         enh     Nor     NEW     
        orca    Script support for gnome-blogger
424528 <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424528>         enh     Nor     NEW     
        orca    Script support for gnucash.


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.

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...

Thanks for any help,
