Re: [orca-list] Orca with the Skype Public API

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi All:

I see this argument as one that won't ever get resolved -- it's the 
same reason some people like GNOME and others like KDE.  It's just 
personal preferences and what matches your needs best.

So, I see a few courses of action that might be more constructive:

1) People contribute their experiences on the VoIP applications that 
work for them, but try to resist denigrating the opinions of others.

2) If people want Skype to work on GNOME, lobby the Skype developers -- 
they are not going to monitor the orca-list to see what people think. 
;-)

3) Wait until the AT-SPI/DBus work advances so that KDE/Qt can 
integrate better with the AT-SPI infrastructure.
