[libreoffice-accessibility] Fwd: Re: [Libreoffice] IAccessible2 - Windows (from libreoffice-accessibility)

Hi,

I forwarded Malte's message on the CWSes with IAccessible2 code to 
the developer list, and someone pointed out (see the message below) 
that IBM will not integrate that code into the main branch of Apache 
OpenOffice.org. (Maybe this is because the Lotus Symphony code that 
IBM intends to release already supports IAccessible2.) So I don't 
know who will do the integration work.

Best regards,

Christophe
