GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 410302
Better support for gnome-mud application
Last modified: 2007-03-27 15:43:51 UTC
Gnome-mud (http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/gnome-mud is a client for multi-user-dungeon (MUD) playing. This application is GTK based. However, We need a script in Orca for improving user experience. The GUI is basically made of two text area, one area for outgoing text and another for incoming messages that cannot get focus like in a chat application. There is also a toolbar and a menu. We can navigate it with no problem. Orca needs to read incoming text automatically and to have a history of latest incoming messages like in Gaim application.
Created attachment 83018 [details] Orca script for gnome-mud This script address the enhancements listed in the report. Currently Orca speaks incoming text automatically if the application has focus and keeps a list of the 10 latest messages. Pressing alt 1 to alt 0 we can read latest 1, 2, 3, 4 and so messages.
Neat! Thanks so much for doing this -- you're becoming a script writer, Javier! The only comments I have on the script are: 1) It has a new string for translation, and we're in the string freeze period for GNOME 2.18. If it's OK by you, I'd like to wait until GNOME 2.19.x to put this module in. 2) The copyright/attribution stuff should definitely be for you or ONCE and not Sun. You guys did the work. :-) Thanks!
For the Ring List, we should put in the same attribution that I used in the gaim script: ######################################################################## # # # Ring List. A fixed size circular list by Flavio Catalani # # http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/435902 # # # ######################################################################## but otherwise I agree.
I've checked in your script to SVN trunk/HEAD. Thanks Javier. I've added in the attribution for the Ring List. As Will says, we'd really like to change the Sun copyright for an ONCE one, so can you please tell me what the correct wording should be, before I close out the bug, and I'll make that one line change.
Closing as FIXED. Thanks Javier!
