This is an agreement reached through the FSG Accessibility WG. More detail is available in the audio archives of our Face To Face this past January: http://accessibility.freestandards.org/modules.php?name=Content2&pa=showpage&pid=70 The sessions you want for this topic are the AT-SPI sessions. The short version of what is agreed is that the AT-SPI will provide the mechanism for passing data between AT and accessibility aware applications. We have agreed on a "Many Worlds" concept for how those messages might be passed to the AT-SPI from the applications. For instance, KDE will likely implement over dbus, while Gnome is using Corba. But these are the "under the hood" details that don't really matter to AT (like Gnopernicus, Gok, or some other AT) as long as it uses the AT-SPI. Eventually, we will have written transcripts from the FSG meeting. I just haven't finished the transcriptions yet. > > Regards, > > Samuel > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > > > > -- > Andor Demarteau E-mail: andor@xxxxxxxxxxxx > student computer science www: http://www.nl.linux.org/~andor > UU based & VU guest-student jabber,icq,msn,voip: do ask ;) > ----------- > chairman Stichting Studiereizen Storm 2002-2004 > vice-chairman USF Studentenbelangen executive committee 2002-2003 > > _______________________________________________ > > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.494.7040 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Bringing the Owasys 22C screenless cell phone to the U.S. and Canada.
