I very much agree. fixing accessibility issues in an app requires more than just 1 simple fix, as soon as you change 1 component in an app, the domino affect occurs. that change affects the way another component, whether it be a script, function, library object, etc to behave differently, thus meaning that each part has to be edited several times to solve. So, yes it's going to take a few version updates to resolve. lets's not forget who owns skype now though... MICROSOFT! so that explains one thing.
Even though we're a small group (thanks for highlighting my comment) we still have rights of equality and access. it's just a question of working in partnership with developers, even if it means becoming beta testers officially and having direct input. lew On 15 Dec 2011, at 10:27, Krister Ekstrom wrote: > I was going to keep my big politically incorrect mouth shut in this thread, > but i can't help saying this: Do *not* expect the bugs we report will be > fixed 10 minutes ago, because they won't.
