[Rwp] seeking advice: general tips and suggestions for a c++ developer who wants to make an accessible plugin

[Scott Chesworth]

Yep, definitely ask him. You might want to hold that thought for a bit
though in case you get better responses here with other questions to
ask.

Question for you this time, where's the plugin currently at with
automation parameters? Can you hit Shift+P on a track with his plugin
inserted and get at any of the controls that way? If not, that should
probably be his starting point, as it'll also benefit anybody who uses
a control surface. That's a way bigger bunch of people than screen
reader users.
