[orca-list] First formal request for testers related to qt-at-spi

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Hi, all,

It's hot off the presses, folks.  I want to try this real bad.
Unfortunately, work has heated up for me considerably of late making
it impossible for me to do anything fun like tinkering with Linux for
a while.  *sigh*  So ... whoever wants to ... Now's your chance!

Hi,

lately Florian and Didier did some nice work to get the patches needed for a
working Qt at-spi2 accessibility ready for Ubuntu. It's also exciting since
they are making Unity-Qt accessible - yes that is the first QML app that tests
our changes for Qt.

While I personally don't care which distro anyone runs, right now this is a
nice chance to test accessibility with KDE apps without any hastle.

So if you're interested to find out where we stand, check it out :)
With the setup described below you should be up and running in no time.

Cheers
Frederik



PS:
If anyone else want to manually get this up and running:
My recommendation is at the moment to grab Qt 4.8 master and the bridge from
gitorious. https://gitorious.org/qt-at-spi

https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/accessibility contains the changes needed for QML
(branch 4.8-a11y) if you want to play with that.
