to bad re Gary :-/ he landed really great work, specialy for
our 
KOffice-users. Also he at least started to work on
integration of Orca with 
dbus ( http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/accessibil
ity/orca-dbus/ ) to 
allow to integrate it easy into KDE4. Through I've no idea
how far it 
progressed.

This would be really cool.  Thank you so much for that! To
bad I can't clone 
myself (without waiting at least ~14years till the result
can start coding) 
and looks as I am already at to much things in parallel
leaving zero time :-/

Re the current state; Looking at 
http://accessibility.kde.org/developer/kttsd/roadmap.ht
ml I do remember from 
aKademy2006 a talk about http://d
oc.trolltech.com/4.3/accessible.html and 
just discovered, that there was great work done at 
http://labs.t
rolltech.com/page/Overview related to integration. The
roadmap ( 
http://accessibility.kde.org/developer/kttsd/roadmap.ht
ml ) says, that 
dbus-integration is completed what may mean, that at least
all the basic work 
is done, or?!
