Re: [orca-list] Maybe I can help develop Orca.

[Fernando Botelho <Fernando Botelho F123 org>]

My own humble suggestion would be different. I think you can make a 
bigger impact on the quality of the non-technical end=user, by helping 
the Libre Office guys with accessibility coding or testing, or 
reporting.  Orca can improve certainly, but right now the biggest issue 
I suspect is when applications do not give it what they should.


Best wishes,


Fernando
