Comment 2 by aleksey_s on 2013-04-24 06:09 About community addons - users have been writing to me asking for support of different non-working versions of addons packaging newfon, so there should be a number of those. If we remove this from the core, it will hopefuly force me to release the official one. |
Comment 3 by jteh on 2013-04-24 06:58 How would you like to proceed with this? Did you want help from us with finishing the add-on before we remove it? |

Patch is welcome. It is one of things which I always knew should be fixed but didn't because they had not anoyed me directly :-)
Yes. I'll be able to work on this in a week, after I finish my course paper. |

Comment 13 by jteh on 2015-01-29 22:39 I'd like to list it on addons.nvda-project.org, but the requirements for getting something listed there are currently far too stringent IMO. In short, neither Tyler nor NV Access want to (or can) maintain this add-on; it is just a service to the community. However, it being available and unmaintained is better than it not being available at all. This is something that Mesar, myself and others need to discuss further. |

…ailable as an NVDA add-on. Fixes #3184.
Reported by jteh on 2013-04-24 00:23
#206 added the Newfon driver to NVDA. The decision was controversial even back then, as Newfon itself can't be bundled with NVDA even if we wanted to. Newfon requires users to install files into the NVDA program directory, which we have always advised against.
Now that the add-on framework exists, I think it makes far more sense for Newfon to be an add-on. Among other things, this will make it very easy to install.
Blocking #4696
