We have briefly discussed what accessibility support should go in gail, and
what should remain separate. I am working on accessibility for libzvt as
well as libgnomeui, both currently in separate libraries. At this rate,
the process of collecting all the libraries needed to implement
accessibility on behalf of the core GNOME libraries will become
difficult. I propose, since GAIL stands for "gnome accessibility
implementation library", that it covers the following libraries:
Gtk+
libgnomecanvas
libgnomeui
libzvt
libbonoboui (to the extent it's needed in Gail)
gal
eel
Basically, this encompasses all the core GNOME libraries. This way, we
only would have to ship one shared library to cover accessibility for all
core GNOME libraries. I realize that we may want to handl dynamically
loading accessibility support in the future, but that probably won't happen
in the short term, so I think moving everything into Gail at least for now
makes sense.
Comments? Flames?
