Rough Firefox Linux Screen Reader Schedule

These dates are dependent on the necessary at-spi support and widget standardization being in place. One large piece that's up in the air is infrastructure support for collections. Structured content navigation is dependent on that support. This schedule indicates no public commitments. This is only to help developers try to stay on the same page.

Again, this is only to let developers tell each other what they need in order to optimize progress.
