Re: Proposed module: conduit

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

From Li Yuan regarding a11y:

"Accessibility is a problem for conduit. The GUI is simple, but the 
left tree view doesn't support keyboard navigation well. Also one has 
to drag some items to the right "sync area", there is no way to do this 
by keyboard. And the "sync area" is not accessible. I suspect 
accessibility work is need by goocanvas.
