Greetings, I am having a problem reconciling Ariel Rios's email far below with the email from Mark Dorfman immediately below. Am I misreading these two mails or is there an inconsistency? I was suprised to hear that "The CSPI has been marked for deprecation." When did that happen and where is this written down? Why don't the public docs say "Deprecated" on them?

When moving to D-Bus we have no intention of EOLing cspi. We need all the ATs currently written using the library to keep going. Its true that at the moment cspi is out-of-action in the D-Bus project. But Mike Gorse has recently been putting patches in, so it may be up and running soon. Two cents on an old issue... My personal preference would be to use pyatspi for new ATs. The interface is better, and who wants to code in 'C' anyway. :) Thanks Mark -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ariel Rios Sent: Monday, February 16, 2009 12:57 PM To: Mike Gorse Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [g-a-devel] status of cspi? Cspi was marked for deprecation and python bindings are preferred. I think your option b is the way to go. I can elaborate more on this if you want me to. ariel 2009/2/16 Mike Gorse <[email protected]>: > Hi all, > > As part of the Mono accessibility work that we are doing at Novell, we > need to implement the UIA client api and bridge from at-spi.
