Well, the number of people who benefit from the work is not what drives people like me who work on things just for the hacking pleasure in their spare time... (Compare to all the hacking I've done on supporting the somewhat rare scenario of file names with characters not in the system codepage. It isn't like people would have filed a large number of bug reports about that, it was just fun and interesting.) At least for me, the problem with adding accessibility support to GTK+/Win32 is more a lack of time to digest all the required documentation, lack of suitable sample code (no Visual Basic, Delphi, C++ with MFC please, just plain C), uncertainty about the future of the APIs in question (will the new stuff in Vista take off or not, what about this IAccessible2 thingie, etc), lack of testing environment (I don't have any 3rd-party screen reader software etc). The same goes for Tablet PC support... If somebody wants to donate me a TabletPC to hack on, feel free ;) --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
