Re: [Trisquel-users] Major changes in the next Trisquel release

[Dave Hunt]

if Cinnamon is, as you say a more mature and vital project than is 
Consort, maybe making it accessible is as simple as adding the at-spi 
stack that already works with GTK3?  It could just be that Linux Mint 
doesn't include this stack?  If, even with the at stack installed, an 
instance of Cinnamon isn't accessible out fo the box, it may just be a 
matter of getting Cinnamon to generate the system events Orca and 
related apps listen for.  Thanks for suggesting I contact Jonathan of 
the Sonar Project; Enabling Cinnamon seems like something worthy of 
their attention.  Regarding Mate, getting it accessible may just be a 
matter of adding the accessibility stack and applications from the 
latest GNOME 2.  Mate accessibility has come up on Orca forums.  It has 
been suggested that enabling Mate is as simple as renaming and 
rebuilding a bunch of code.  Again, a suggestion for the Sonar Project 
folks.  So far, they seem preoccupied with keeping up with Ubuntu's 
releases.
