A Statement of Intent from the FSG Accessibility Workgroup, the KDE Accessibility Project, and the Gnome Accessibility Project has been posted. We hope that this statement will help clarify the goals, plans, and policies which are guiding ongoing standardization and interoperability work between the Gnome Accessibility Project another working groups.
ATK and AT-SPI Documentation has recently been updated. AT-SPI tarballs now include HTML documentation of the IDL, which we hope will be especially helpful to python developers in conjunction with pyORBit.
For those who are interested in ongoing development, a set of draft IDL documentation for an enhanced AT-SPI is also available for comment.
