Re: [orca-list] Orca & GSettings

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I still don't quite follow why do the gconf step as its going to be 
deprecated. Putting the gnome/freedesktop screen reader argument to one 
side (I know this may disappoint some), why do all the work to port to 
gconf only to have to change it very soon after. As Bill suggested, why 
not just create the python bindings for gsettings as they currently are 
lacking and just go straight there?

I am sure that the work in python bindings for gsettings would be 
appreciated far beyond orca, where as the extra effort for moving to 
gconf first would only be temporary and specific to orca.
