I don't believe Skype is dropping support for its API. I just believe it is not adding to its API a way to handle Facebook stuff. If Skype actually drops its API, that will break a huge number of things, Skypetalking and Clisk only being two examples. If anyone sees hard evidence that Skype is planning to drop support for its API, please let us know. In the mean time, I am assuming that is not going to happen, and I am also emailing a Skype technical lead a copy of this message as a means of verification.

I wish they told him that during the beta and really they shouldn't just took it off without any real reason at all. They say that it was due to the fact some people just did anything with API support but for us who use multi screenreaders it is just coming back to JAWS! I really hope that there will be better way to sort this issue out, it's not ok just to shift tab and tab around. If you are using JAWS still then they still support alt 1 to 0 etc but that isn't the case with other screen readers. totally unfair. PS Doug Can you please reply back to this list regarding all sort of issues and when are you planning to script things and also can we find the way to get back to support other screenreaders, there must be a way.
