a brief Caribou update

[Ben Konrath <ben bagu org>]

Hi,

I would like to give everybody a brief update on what's happening with
Caribou. Due to some organizational changes at the Adaptive Technology
Resource Centre, I am no longer working at the University of Toronto.
There is a chance that the ATRC will find an alternate source of
funding for my position but I don't know when that will come through
so I've begun searching for a new employment opportunity.

My plan right now is to continue to be involved with Caribou's
development as my time allows but I will not be pushing for Caribou to
be included with GNOME 3.0. My current goals are to add features that
will make Caribou easier to use as a stand alone app so that the code
that has already been developed can be useful to people. The GNOME
Foundation is sponsoring most of my travel costs for CSUN this year
and I plan to use all of my time at the hackfest working on Caribou.

Another consequence of not being employed by the ATRC is that I no
longer have access to their braille embosser. As such, I will not be
able to make the braille GNOME handout for CSUN. I apologize to anyone
who was counting on this.

I look forward to continuing to work with everybody on the GNOME
accessibility team.

Cheers, Ben
