Oh no, not again. That would be the third time GNOME starts over. Given what I saw while watching the D-Bus AT-SPI rewrite, followed by the early GNOME3 fallout, I have to admit I am not confident that GNOME actually can provide long-term stable accessibility support. Sure, with proper funding, everything can be done. However, as GNOME3 showed, shiny-new-stuff can easily kill existing Accessibility support just because. We'd need to obtain a substantially huge piece of funding to "motivate" developers to keep existing Accessibility features alive. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
