Re: Orca now running on AMD64 with latest Edgy installation

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Roland:

Glad to hear the gnome-speech thing just worked itself out without
requiring mods to gnome-speech.  :-)  

Dynamic language detection/switching is definitely an interesting thing
to consider adding to Orca.  Right now, however, it's not really on the
core team's radar screen - we're still going to be busy fleshing out the
really important stuff, such as access to the web via Firefox 3.  In
addition, we don't have much experience with simultaneously handling
multiple locales, so we might not be qualified to do the work.

If someone in the community were so inclined, however, to create a patch
to allow this, I think I'd be happy to review it.  ;-)

Thanks!

Will
