Re: [orca-list] Is Orca support plug-in architecture ?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I still think the plug-in concept could be quite valuable at some point, but until someone presents a 
realworld use case
or three, I say priority should not be given to this unless new orca contributers are interested in working 
this out so
that other more pressing issues can be addressed by Joanie and current parttime contributers.

Some add something to more or less emulate how another screenreader handles something, i.e. a jaws-clone 
keystroke to
access the systray. Kind of dumb when nvda has always read the systray correctly and jaws needed to add this 
because it
could not, or at least did not with default configuration. Windows has a keystroke to get one to the systray, 
but let's
just keep copying anything thaut jaws does because it's there and has market share, no matter that it's not 
needed. Not
saying that such a extra could not be needed, and I think I found something similar that did look more useful 
when I
browsed NVDAplug-ins.
So, to sum up, yes, plug-ins sound like a good idea, but I'm not thinking up exactly when and where right 
now, so unless a
reallly cool use case is presented I say put this on the back burner, or the medium/longterm todo list.
Just my 2&a half cents.
