the last mail I sent to their dev team resulted in a comment about not having the resources to maintain multiple versions of their compile tree. that statement is just pure laziness on their part. one can use a c++ compiler with the right switches to compile a windows executable, or a linux one or even an OS X one. all this can be done on any of the OS environments and can be compiled for any of them equally. so, their statement about having to maintain different compile trees falls on its face.
then they used the argument that they needed unfettered access to the entire source code tree. apple told them where to stick it and use the API )which is published at the Apple Developer Site). there is one proviso though: one cannot make demands of a bunch of volunteer code monkeys )they will walk on you if you try). -eric On Jan 17, 2012, at 5:22 PM, Karen Lewellen wrote: > No Kevin, > So it has been shared here before. > What has never been clear to me though is why? > Further why an effort is not made to persuade those with firefox development > team why the program should be accessible with vo? > I smile at the number of places in general that suggest using ff over > exploder and I am not speaking about sight loss as a reason. > Seems it should be accessible just to add more users for the program across > situations. > so...why not? > Karen > > On Tue, 17 Jan 2012, Kevin Gibbs wrote: > >> So it wasn't my imagination about not being able to use FF after all >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "MacVisionaries" group. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> [email protected]. >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >> >> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
