Are you referring to the Open Office proposal? This is a general list If so, unlike most Apache incubator projects, where you earn committership, for the Open Office proposal you can sign up yourself by just adding to the wiki page [1]. At least that is what I did. I'd happily nominate you if my vote would count for anything as It would be excellent to have you on board. We need a wide representation of those interested in OOo a11y. You might also like to get a ICLA off as well [2] 1: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenOfficeProposal 2: http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt Steve Lee Full Measure - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

While IBM contributed its accessibility code to Oracle last year, Oracle was unable to fully integrate. We should finish that work if the proposal passes to podling. It looks like this will be an effort you would want to consider working on. This is the code that implements the IA2 APIs that IBM donated to Linux Foundation in December 2008.[1] I'm *very* keen to see this happen. A point of information: IA2 is actually for Windows platforms, even though is maintained by the Linux Foundation (note IA2 is deliberately very similar to AT/SPI on Linux). Orca, which Joanie leads, is GNOME on Linux, so we still need to work on community development for IA2, as things stand. -- Steve Lee Full Measure - open source accessibility - http://fullmeasure.co.uk - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

Actually the status with IA2 in OOo is quite good - but not in public CWSes yet - I am quite sure it will find it's way to Apache OOo. Excellent! That will be very good news for NDVA user's for example as it will allow good out-of-the box screen reader access to OOo on Windows Steve - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
