Yes, orca manual needs comprehensive documentation and gnome.org is a
great place although orca wiki is great idea too.  I think we can have
a complete book for orca on gnome.org as per your idea.

Yes, Wil,  it is indeed a user manual and that's why your idea is
great.  I however
Want to create this manual collaboratively, so prefer a wiki based manual.
but it will be nice to start the documentation as you suggested if we
as community membors can contribute to this.
I was will also expect a nice contribution from you Wil, for the orca
scripting section.
So do let me know how we can go ahead on this.
Happy hacking.
