thierry are you planning to attend the PharoConf end of may because it would be great. I know that Alain Plantec should be present and probably Gary Chambers.

Well, I didn't know about PharoConf; since it's in Lille, I'll look if I can attend. For now, am I right if I say that calling a C library in 64 bits Linux isn't really working ? So far, the FFI examples in Pharo 1.3 are not able to get the X window id, even with a LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32/. So I'm not sure trying to connect to a hand-compiled 32 bits version of the brlapi lib would work. (I thought that maybe, with xbrlapi, I could reroute Pharo stdout to the braille keyboard, but it didn't work: easy solution failed! :() It seems I'll have to connect to the brltty TCP server directly.

Great ! Don't forget to publish and document your changes. This could be great is Pharo Smalltalk could be used by other blind developers around the world !
I'll do! Just give me the time. So far, it seems I need to talk to the brlAPI lib through FFI, or write brltty protocol packets over TCP. I wonder which one it will be.
But there is more accessibility tools available when you are using a text-based environment like a shell.
I believed that as well, until I met my colleague...
So now I put back on my HCI hat : he's happy and proficient (and very experienced) with interactive GUIs, and I know it won't be hard for him to use the full Morphic GUI as soon as I get his braille keyboard to work.
