Re: [orca-list] An Open Letter to Oracle on the Topic Of Accessibility

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Talking of funding, I seem to have a memory of seeing a news item about 
Mozilla putting funding into gnome for accessibility work in 2010 (it 
was on the freebsd website where I spotted this headline, sorry I don't 
have the link to hand). What might this funding help happen?

Possibly more generally, is there somewhere to find out about what funds 
are being used for in gnome? I probably should have a look on the gnome 
website, its just such a big site you don't always know where to start, 
I am asking more whether anyone knows if such a page exists before looking.
