[orca-list] accessiblity in chrome

[jonathan Nadeau <j nadeau charter net>]

Hello list,

A while ago I filed a bug against chrome and this is the latest. Maybe
someone could help with this.

Comment #5 on issue 24585 by dmazz    chromium org: orca screen reader  
doesn't work with chromium

We've resolved the issue with accessibility and Chrome's multi-process  
architecture in a cross-platform way, and Chrome accessibility is now  
making good solid progress on Windows and Mac OS X. Implementing ATK
and  
supporting Orca on Linux would now be relatively straightforward, but  
nevertheless time-consuming.

At this point, the number of Orca users is very small, so it doesn't
make  
sense to prioritize this feature request until Windows and Mac  
accessibility is essentially finished, since those platforms have many  
thousands of disabled users.

However, if anyone in the community would like to work on implementing
ATK  
and Orca support in Chrome, we'd be more than happy to help them get  
started and review the patches.
