I have just posted an update to the JAWS Scripts for Skype 5.0b. We are now at revision 577. The update, as usual, is at http://www.dlee.org/skype/
This update is all about making the Profile fields easier to manage when you're trying to update your profile. This update also stops JAWS from saying "Group box" frequently if you try to read someone else's profile with the JAWS cursor. Details are on my site at the above link. Because I find this screen less than intuitive for blind people, I will explain how to use it here: You get to the Profile edit area by choosing Skype from the menu bar, then Profile submenu, and finally Edit Your Profile. When you open this screen area, you will land on an Edit button. If you Shift+Tab from there, you would hit a Contacts Only button and a Public Profile button. Those three choose how the Profile area appears: Public Profile makes it look like your profile would look to someone that is not in your contact list. Contacts Only makes it look like it would to one of your contacts. Edit, which is the default when you open this screen, allows you to change fields in your Profile. Most of us probably won't need to mess with these three buttons; you can just start Tabbing forward from the Edit button. The fields in your profile will appear as links and combo boxes for the most part, with the occasional button thrown in. The universal rule is, if you want to change a field, you press Space on its link or combo box to open it, then edit it or choose from a list of choices etc., then save the change. There is no Save button that saves the whole profile at once; you save each field in turn. So for example, to change your Full Name, tab to the "Full Name" link, press Space to get an edit box, fill in your name in the box, Tab once to the Save button, and press Space or Enter. Note that you can just press Enter on the Edit box to save it, but my experience tells me you can land focus in a funny and rather distant place if you do that, so I recommend hitting Save directly. This script update and the above instructions should significantly simplify the process of updating your profile.
