[orca-list] Accessibility status inquiry

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Hi, everyone,

I wondered if anyone here could say whether they'd tried out these
three different things on the "bleeding edge" as it were of screen
reader accessibility:

1.  qt-at-spi:  supposed to make qt accessible and reputed to have
worked for a developer:
The project is here:
http://gitorious.org/qt-at-spi/qt-at-spi
The reported functionality is here:
http://jpwhiting.blogspot.com/2011/03/its-alive.html

2.  Gnome 3's current a11y outlook:  Is there anything more current
than January on how it's doing?  Will the Gnome shell be accessible
for typical PC usage with Orca?  Are there alternatives to it short of
going to something like Xfce?

3.  Unity Desktop and Ubuntu Natty:  Has anyone managed to get it to
work with Orca yet?  I hear there's tons of QT stuff in there.
Perhaps the qt-at-spi project will help in that regard?

I plan on trying some of this stuff out here in the next few weeks
myself but figured I'd ask here in case someone had already done so
and had impressions to share.  Also, Will Orca 3.0 work with Gnome
2.3x if it turns out we ahve to sit tight for a while on some of the
a11y issues?

Best regards,
Alex M
