Doug thanks for keeping us posted and yes I use SkypeTalking with NVDA I
also wanted to thank you for answering my question that I didn't post to
the list in advance regarding the URIs but at least the actual
application won't die like WLM did, and speaking of WLM contacts, have
they made any improvements in adding them from skype? Or are they going
to in addition to this new interface for adding contacts, so what would
it be if you were to add me, jazzytrumpet

Teachers have a sacred task:
It is to give children the skills to understand the world and an expectation
that the world is a trustworthy place; that it is full of light, and love, and
music and that each student deserves--and will have--their own place in it and
the chance to play their own song.
And, as much of these expectations are transmitted non-verbally—and in Chela’s
case--out of sight…it is the voice and touch of a Teacher that sheds light on
what the world can be.
Academics—and no one will ever change my mind on this—take a distant second
place. —Dr. Bil Hawkins

I have participated in a discussion on this list of the apparent

The original article from which this news came to us, found now at
http://gigaom.com:80/2013/07/13/skype-says-it-will-kill-desktop-api-by-end-of-2013/
makes it sound like the termm "Desktop API" applies to both the API
used by SkypeTalking and Clisk, formerly called the "Public API," and
the newer API for creating whole clients like GW Connect, which I
believe is called the "Skype Dev Kit."
If I am correct here, GW Connect will die also.
Microsoft is urging developers to replace their use of the older APIs
with something called "Skype URIs," which is really a new name for a
(perhaps expanded) set of URL-like requests one can make against a
running Skype client. An example is "skype://dlee42?add," which is a
way of adding me as a contact from anywhere you can launch a URL.
I am in discussion with Skype / Microsoft people about the future of
the Skype APIs and will keep everyone informed as best I can.
In the mean time, I am interested in knowing of any apps people are
using that (1) require one of the apparently dying Skype APIs, and (2)
are not easily replaced by anything that does not rely on those. I
already know of Clisk (of course since I wrote it) and SkypeTalking,
but there may be others out there.
Thanks much for any input.
