[Monodevelop-devel] accessiblity support for MonoDevelop

[Ashkan Saeedi Mazdeh]

Thanks for the quick reply Miguel
My main concern is windows so actually it's about MSAA and GTK#, I
mentioned that also OSX has the same problem as well.

I just wrote these here with the hope that someone interested could be
found and work on it one day.
I myself personally never worked with any accessibility APIs and don't have
much info on it so can not do the work in a time that i can afford to put
on it now.
