Re: [orca-list] orca does not announce selected cells in calc

[hackingKK <hackingkk gmail com>]

Well, I see these days more than 80% of discussion and hacking happening 
around firefox, thunderbird or any thing to do with media, core desktop 
or web.
I feel this is very good and its rather critical too, but if some 
attention goes to things like calc, it will result in better experience 
and this is critical too.
It might lead to a lot of jobs and contracts such as data entry becoming 
available to blind people in countries like India.
This is just my 2 sents.
Happy hacking.
