Re: [orca-list] Chromium: Not there yet, but making progress!

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

As I stated in my original announcement, I'm aiming for when GNOME 3.34

a tendency to happen. I'm relatively certain everything we need will be
in place (and hopefully downloadable; rather than requiring building)
for the 3.34 release.
