Introduction of my project

[MENGUAL Jean-Philippe]

Hi,

I've been working with free software for 2004, and I'm sure now of 2
things: it's The solution to get an accessible computer in long-term,
but its diversity results on a need of fulltime work on the matter. I
love the work on distros such as Sonar or Vinux, about which I'm writing
a manual to learn computing (very long as I've few time). I think now an
accessible system should go still further, using "universal" purpose.
But universal, it means a flexible desktop, for various visual issues, etc.

For all these reasons I try now so pay for devs to work on GNU/Linux
a11y, in particular Compiz, Orca and MATE. To know the values of this
project and our model, see:
http://hypra.fr/?-Home-17-&lang=en

For next month, we will release a full list of features we found in
Jaws, NVDA, ZoomText and SuperNova and not present in Orca and Linux, so
that users could tell us whet should be prioritary to be developped. On
this basis, we'll submit patches to add features, including technical
discussions with you about the good approach (what is for Orca, for
at-spi, for the application, etc). Now we've the basic platform, we can
start developping improvements and submitting them.

Thanks

Bonjour, Jean-Philippe.

Your project is an excellent one. I have found that MATE is easier on RAM
and system resources than GNOME but has many of the features of old GNOME
2.0 that many of us liked.

There was a bad problem a while ago that crippled espeak when ORCA had been
started in X-Windows session, but I have heard that it has been fixed. My
work around is to use speakup and speechd-up with speech-dispatcher on
console command line and use the magnifier alone in X Windows.

I have not tested to see if it is now possible to run ORCA and console TTS.

Best wishes,

David
