Hello,

I am currently studying the possibility of making the x3270 terminal
emulator ( http://x3270.bgp.nu/ ) gnopernicus-aware. I believe this is
possible implementing the atk interface inside the x3270 application.

On the other hand, there is more to accessibility than just making
your applications talk. x3270 was not planned to use these
technologies, while GNOME apps inherit them without much trouble
(high-contrast themes, gnopernicus). But to do that, a interface
rewrite of the 3270 terminal for GNOME is required.

I know I should not take this task lightly, so I am looking for a head
start. Is there such an effort already in progress? If I try to use
libvte, I think it will need some hacking to use sockets, and probably
some more to make it more responsive with gnopernicus (at least, this
seems to be the case when I use gnome-terminal with gnopernicus).

Cheers.
