Re: [orca-list] Minimum at-spi2 version is now 2.3.5 for master

Hi Joanie,
This is indeed a great news specially in the long run.
I have been quitely following any related discussion and knew that 
atspi2 was round the corner.
Alas, even after repetative requests for some guidance on getting 
started with Orca development, there is not much to be considered as a 
beginners documentation for developers.
Yet I feel who ever is doing the work, it is really great and this 
announcement, although causing a bit of discomfort for some people, the 
fact that we might have other desktop alternatives is a nice payback for 
any inconvinience caused.
Keep up the great work as usual.
Happy hacking.
