Re: [orca-list] Skype: Might a found a really promising sollution

For those who are command line junkies, at the pidgin plugin for skype 
website there is the dbus version for finch. As a note though, I have 
got the pidgin plugin working fine but when I tried the dbus one I never 
got it working. Also for those who really want command line in the 
strictest sense (type a command and the program prints a reply) finch I 
don't think is that, its one of these text based menu applications.

As for the original suggestion, I don't see any reason why such an idea 
can't be made to work but I don't know what the state is (it may be 
fully working now, may be partially implemented, it may need completely 
implementing). The pidgin solution is one I can say is working now and I 
have used it very recently.
