Hi Albert, Thanks for the guidance with regards to the focus of the project. I had the understanding of creating a screen reading software earlier, but the actual focus which you clarified is something I have worked on; and it seems really exciting as it was a pretty awesome utility.
I had created a file folder synchronization software similar to Dropbox in Linux which utilized QtPy (blend of Python and Qt library). As suggested by you I am going through http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/accessible-qwidget.html and am exploring the code-base from https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/ However, after creating the Jira and setting up the git (after registering the SSH keys), I am facing some issue with cloning the code-base (access rights issues). I will get it sorted out by tonight and look at some bugs which I will try to fix. At the moment, I am going through the code and I am super excited to contribute to this project, given the prior experience of working in a similar situation. Would you like me to go over some particular part of the code.
