I'll need some of these in order to prepare a presentation that I've
volunteered to give at a local Linux user's group. I may also submit it as a
proposal to a Linux or free software/open-source conference.
I plan to cover Orca, Firefox 3, Aria, Axsjax, and mention other important
projects such as Fire Vox. The underlying theme will be that of an
accessibility API, demonstrating how it is used in Orca and how the concept
has been extended to client-side Web user interfaces coded in Javascript.
The problem is that I don't know Javascript myself, but I'll try to find the
time to understand a few code examples before presenting this material in
public. I've read relevant parts of the Orca source code, as well as the Orca
architecture document, and I'm fairly familiar with the history of this
technology, having been involved in the relevant standardization processes
from early days, especially W3C working groups.
This presentation is likely to be captured on video. If this happens (some
time later in the year), I'll send you a reference to the video file via this
mailing list.
My presentation at Linux.conf.au 2008, covering speech and braille interfaces
under Linux, is available at the
http://linux.conf.au/ Web site. Since it is
very much an overview of most of the projects taking place in this area, Orca
receives only a brief introduction, and Firefox isn't discussed in detail.
This shortcoming is intended to be remedied in my forthcoming talk, which will
be decisively focused on the Web.
