Bill, the money will be spend in accessibility works, so What's the problem ? Don't you trust in the accessibility team ?
And yes, there are lot of bugs opened. The resources are also limited and GTK has being involved in big changes from version 2 to version 3 with big time constraints. And, as Joanie mentioned, there is a core GTK developer who really cares about a11y, and other in the GTK team offer their help when requested. I agree that orca team is awesome. If I had the technology, I will clone them. All the bugs in orca can be considered a11y bugs, it's not the case with all the GTK bugs. And about your bugs and patches, thanks !. I dont know the details. They can be technical but they can be 'human' as well. But both types of problems can be addressed in one or another way. My advice, if you let me give you one , is you are stucked, don't stay alone and ask to other a11y collegues how to deal with. Merry Christmas to those who means something, -- Juanjo MarinEl 25/12/11 07:11 Bill Cox escribió: Since you bring it up, let's talk about it. There has not been a single accessibility bug reported by the community that was closed by the GTK+ team in two years. The calender doesn't talk, and neither do most images, regardless of the dedication of the original programmer. I submit but reports with patches to GTK+, and I am among many who are ignored. Shall we get into specific bug reports still outstanding? Shall we compare them to outstanding projects like Orca?
