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
