[Blindmath] (no subject)

[BlueSkies11]

If you would like to get in touch with the Orca developers to see if their
focus management system works with your math project and/or bring this issue
up to the developers so that it can be addressed, you can find their contact
information in the show notes associated with the ViewPoints episode on Orca
and accessibility in Linux.  The show notes can be found by following the
links on the page:
www.ViewPointsPlus.net
and looking for show #1222, or by clicking on:
http://www.viewpointsplus.net/show%20notes/show%20notes%201222.htm

You will find the developers very receptive to working out access issues in
Linux.

Hope that is helpful.

For our work, Orca's focus management abilities do matter to our math
project.  Does anyone know whether javascript focus management works on
Orca?  I don't want to pursue it if it doesn't, otherwise - does anyone know
if there are plugins for Orca when it comes to math web or non-web?
I'm not seeing any information that suggests this, but I wanted to make
certain what the case was, one way or another.
