Re: [orca-list] Who else is looking to contribute?

I wish you good luck. It seems like a lot of work to keep your fork in sync with Master.
If you share the links to the updated patches you have submitted on Bugzilla, I will do my best to bring them to the attention of Joanie and others.
Maybe the thing to do would be to start with that, so at least you are not stuck with double the work you should have.

sonar linux will use a mirror of orca master but will also include patches
from me and others.
so the plan is to work on new features that will be tried to be included to
the gnome orca master branch but we will have to maintain them outside
until they are accepted.

So, does this mean that Sonar Linux will be using a fork of Orca

This does not make sense. Please explain because it seems to me, that I am
misunderstanding something.

Thanks,

Fernando

I will be updating https://github.com/h4ck3rm1k3/orca-sonar for now.
I have also my original patchs for orca here which were ignored and are
now
out of date;
https://github.com/h4ck3rm1k3/orca/ with the branch for example
https://github.com/h4ck3rm1k3/orca/tree/refactor

Right now I am working on making test code for the event frame standalone.
To git gitorious org:sonarlinux/h4ck3rm1k3s-orca-sonar.git
   * [new branch]      event_manager_driver -> event_manager_driver

this is experimental code, I hope to make standalone test frames for major
modules.

  I would want more dtails on this.

Firstly, which repo will be the one you will be updating, and how do you
plan to work on the documentation for scripting and other stuff?
Happy hakcing.

  Well I can first suggest for everyone to sign up to

github and fork https://github.com/GNOME/orca
gitorious  and fork  https://gitorious.org/sonarlinux/orca-sonar

I plan on spending at least one day a week for the next months, working
on
this.

First steps will be to help improve documentation and improve user
scripting and testing and then to create code that is outside the main
core
code that is being updated.

   Hi Mike,


I will be keenly waiting for this.
Basically there are very strong reasons for me to have this as early as
possible.
One of the state governments in India have announced some support for
Orca
and I would be asked to lead the development, given that I am both a
blind
programmer and a developer in Python language. The getting started and
way
ahead are just 2 points I have to understand now.
happy hacking.

   Good points.


I am working on creating a new script for an app not covered yet and
will
be documenting that.

I will work on some beginners docs, I found these
docs/doc-set/architecture.sgml pretty good, I will be making some
tutorials
for beginners.

      Hi,

  For ages I have been looking for a way to start contributing.

There is a start I make by looking into the code.
I am a Python programmer myself and would find it very easy if I get
the
entire big picture and what are the starting points.
Would be for example interested to write good Orca scripts for
impress
and
for other apps.
If some one can post a comprehensieve blog or a wiki for this thing,
I
think it will be a great starting resource for advanced Python
programmers
like your's truely.
Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.

Hi all orca users and devs,
am I the only one here who is trying to contribute? Is there anyone
else
on
this list who has had contributions ignored?
I have looked at the commit log and it seems to be dominated by only
very
few people,
lets start a discussion on how to get more people committing.
