Indeed.

Conversely, IAccessible2 on Linux would be missing MSAA functionality and unresolved COM versus dbus mapping/migration. In short, IA2 for Linux would cause regression. http://lists.freestandards.org/pipermail/accessibility-ia2/2007-January/000143.html > a) move AT-SPI to D-Bus ... > Unfortunately no Gtk or GNOME developers are currently working on this. We are waiting to see a full functioning AT-SPI with Dbus in KDE which supports Qt, Gtk, Java, Eclipse, Firefox, Evolution, and OpenOffice and works with Orca, LSR, at-poke, accerciser, gok, dasher, gnome-mag, dogtail, and ldtp. ;-) > My hope is that we will be able to agree on a single > accessibility architecture Meritocracy is the golden rule. Regarding Steve Lee's original post. Yes, a GAIL to implement IA2-and- MSAA over COM for Gtk on Windows would be great. Gtk applications on Windows could then be accessible via JAWS and other ATs. -- George (gk4) _______________________________________________ Gnome-accessibility-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-devel
