Re: [orca-list] possibly OT: Oracle takeover

[Aaruni <aruni100 gmail com>]

Hi will and all, there cannot be 2 thoughts on what a great service
orca has done for accessibility to the blind and partially sighted. I
am really dumstruck as to what I can say. Orca means so much to all of
us that we must do whatever possible to sustain this project and let a
true accessibility be everybody's realised dream. If anybody decides
to put up an online petition I'll do my best to muster as many
signatures as possible. Orca means a whole real world to the VI
community of the developing countries.
I sincerely pray that things remain the same for the core developers
of orca with heftier pay packets from the new company.
Regards,
Aruni.
