Hi, I'm thinking about shifting the development focus of Caribou from my initial plan. The next stage of my plan was to start adding switch access scanning to Caribou which would work towards text entry functionality for two use cases: mouse-only users and switch-access users.
Looking at other stuff going on in GNOME accessibility community right now, I think it makes more sense to concentrate on making a rock solid application for the mouse-only user case in time for GNOME 2.30. This will allow distros to keep the CORBA base at-spi off for mouse only users (including dwell click users using MouseTweaks) as well as for the other use cases covered by programs using pyatspi. This doesn't help switch only users who will still need to use the CORBA based at-api but at least it's a step to include more users with the DBus based at-spi. I know that I missed the official module proposal for GNOME 2.30 so Caribou will not be officially included but I still think there is value to concentrating on one user group first. And I can defintely have something usable for mouse-only users in time for GNOME 2.30. So what do people think? Any thoughts about this would be appreciated.
