Ok, this is really good news.  I was actually reading some code and this 
had confused me.

But I thought I might be too stupid to ask on this list because all 
contributers would find it so basic that it was too obvious to answer.

Joanie, I had sent you a private mail for asking some specific help on 
getting started with hacking orca.
I have a lot of python experience and i also have sighted colligues who 
wish to help along.
So if you can reply my email, I can even get started.

Happy hacking.
