[webkit-efl] webkit-efl Digest, Vol 16, Issue 16

[Krzysztof Czech]

Basically neither ATK nor AT-SPI depends on each other. There is another 
layer between them.
This layer is ATK-BRIDGE (also called atk-adaptor). It handles D-Bus 
communication between ATK and AT-SPI2.
Generally D-Bus is also used as transport layer between AT-SPI2 and 
AT(screen readers etc.)
ATK-BRIDGE seemed to be also standalone library that can be used in EFL 
environment.

Regarding QT, they seem platform-neutral, maybe they do not directly use 
AT-SPI but there is also a layer/interface QAccessible,
that handles D-Bus communication.

Those three components (atk, atk-bridge, at-spi2) form one of the ways 
to have accessibility in Linux platform.
I observed problems in EFL regarding using of ATK. Generally at the 
beginning we'd like to make a first step and add
support for WebKit-EFL. I think porting of ATK-BRIDGE and AT-SPI2 is not 
mandatory on this level.
