[Linux for blind general discussion]

Howdy Rynhardt,

this is pretty awesome. Well i keep my libpeas WIP branch always up to 
date with orca master.
my job didnt alow me to continue my work the last couple of weeks. but 
things are working out well currently, so I just started working on the 
code.
maybe you might be interested in migrate your solution as a plugin?
