Contributions to Orca from the Community
We thank all involved with contributing scripts for Orca. Community participation in this project will help improve the overall accessibility of the GNOME desktop.

This will provide a single spot for people to comment on the script, and will also give the Orca maintainers a convenient way to roll the script into a future Orca release.
