hi
This is something I can get behind 100 percent. I'm glad someone
succeedded where I failed, because I've been trying to do this for
ages, and gotten little interest, if not outright disinterest. If we
don't have an irc channel, we need to make one, assuming I can join
the team, because I've been wanting linux accessibility to become
something that's vastly easier to improve than it currently is. In
fact, I can create one on freenode, probably #hypra, if I can figure
out how to change the topic. I doubt joanie has had a chance to look
at this pull request, if she has even seen it, she's probably filed it
away somewhere. IMO we need more python and c programmers to study
orca and the layors beneath it so she doesn't have to manage
*everything*. I'll gladly join in, and I suspect some of the members
of the sonar team will as well. Phew, what a relief
Thanks

Hi,

In order to improve, but especially maintain without regressions,
the GNU/Linux accessibility, I am building a team who can work
fulltime about this. We work in the communities, especially Debian,
given their a11y level. But of course, we are aware of the
importance of supporting upstream communities.

While we promote a11y in free software world, helping projects to
be or stay or become accessible, such as MATE, we try giving to
Orca new useful features so that it provides to users with similar
capabilities as for NVDA. It's also a way to work without
interferring with Joanie's dev, working on modularity and with her
control.

That's why I reported to Debian bug: 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=757635

ksamak, member of our team, provides this fix via a pull request 2 
months ago: https://github.com/GNOME/orca/pull/1

Indeed, we want to give our developments to the community. Its for
us easier to be involved in projects instead of maintaining our own
repo, and community is a quality assurance to make the free
software we want to improve clean.

Was this pull request studied/seen? What is the status we can
consider it (not seen, refused, in progress)? Will be in next Orca
release? Does this way of working suit to orca team and gnome-a11y
team? Would other ways be better?

FYI, our team will be named Hypra. Due to development and next to
it, this project expect to interface between newbie users (don't
know English and express bugs, wishes, etc), to report to upstream
and distros, and helping improving the general quality of our
tools.



Regards,
