Not that I'm particularly well informed here, but having e-mail
chatted with the NVDA guys about porting to Linux, and the Orca guys
about porting to windows, and after reading a bit of the code and
e-mail on the dev lists...
Porting Orca to Windows or NVDA to Linux just isn't going to happen.

Hi,
Based on the Orca (or even a more general a11y) roadmap, it may be
possible to get some funding from companies or associations
interested
in seeing Orca get better (although a lot of the associations seem to

focussing more on NVDA because it works on Windows).

I agree with Cesar.
In Orca's upcoming refactor a certain level of abstraction should be
provided to allow porting to different platforms.
Maybe in some kind of future NVDA and Orca could actually share a codebase
or at least some modules. But this is just wishful thinking for now.
This is how

What about those companies deploying linux desktops in masse in public
organizations? From time to time appear in the news some big European
city or government department that has migrated their desktops to
Linux.
That's impossible. Linux is just a kernel -- it cannot run a

Hi All.
Based on the Orca (or even a more general a11y) roadmap, it may be
possible to get some funding from companies or associations interested
in seeing Orca get better (although a lot of the associations seem to be
focussing more on NVDA because it works on Windows). Where is the Orca
CCing the list as you replied to the copy of my message which never made
it to the list because I sent it via the wrong address. :-/ Sorry about
