Hi :)
Can non-devs make suggestions? Surely it is up to the devs to choose things?
If non-devs can make suggestions then something on Impress would be great.
There are only a few things that people have trouble with but they might be too
tough to fix in the short time available.

Can you post a bug-report about it?

Perhaps add [wishlist] to the subject-line? I think post the bug-report now
rather than leaving it. Any small improvement in accessibility should be a
priority in my opinion.

I think the BoD have been working on trying to get the Symphony code that was

Hi :)
I think the point was to completely clear your system of all of it so that you
could get a fresh start.
I think a lot of the programs that combine to give accessibility are
inter-related and when it goes wrong it's because one bit is pointing at some
old version that has been removed
on how to fix it, but if
not I think I have reached the end of the road.
I have a feeling it is a problem with lo and u as well as has been said on
the Nvda list. but I hope to be proved wrong thanks for all your help all who
have tried to help.

i think the Apache Open Office licensing is somewhat more proprietary so we

This led to IBM giving Apache a copy of all their accesibility code from
