Re: [orca-list] OT: looking for volunteers for the tintin sound pack

hi
I haven't added the features yet. It's why the fork was created, so I 
can get help from the community to add them, since I don't know the code 
well enough to add them on my own. I'm tired of hoping for scraps from 
"willing" windows blind users so I'm taking the matter into my own 
hands. I need help though, since I know little of the underlying tintin 
code. It's worth noting that you don't need to know the language tintin 
is written in to contribute, but rather the tintin scripting language 
that's used to write the triggers, as well as some bash scripting. I 
know a little of both but not enough for something like this
Thanks

Thanks
