[Rwp] Osara

[Scott Chesworth]

Hi Ashley,

Linked in the ReadMe for OSARA, you'll find the D&G keymap, which is
what most people are using nowadays. This is still under development
along with OSARA itself, but is the right stuff to be using if you
want your Reaping to be future proof. OSARA and that ReadMe I
mentioned live at http://www.github.com/nvaccess/osara

>>4) how easy/hard is it for you to handle parameters which such a big

>>
>>5) Would you prefer to have a selection-end parameter rather than
