>> Here is the long-awaited, possibly anticipated (<silly grin>) script
>> release for Skype 4.0 beta3.  I've been using these for a while, but
>> no one else has, so pardon any rough edges, and please report them
>> here.
>>
>> The direct URL for the Skype 4 beta scripts remains
>>
>>    http://www.dlee.org/skype/skype4.php
>>
>> But they are also, at long last, accessible from my main Skype page,
>>
>>    http://www.dlee.org/skype/
>>
>> As usual, I have a few things to say about this release:
>>
>> First, the name of this release is 4b3a, not the likely expected 4b5.
>> This is explained in the release notes on my web site.
>>
>> My advice on who should try Skype 4 beta has changed a bit.  Until
>> now, I have recommended that only the most daring should try this.
>> Now though, I recommend that anyone who wants to contribute to the
>> accessibility of the next major Skype release try it, as long as the
>> following warnings don't make this unwise for you.
>> To tantalize some of you, I'll point out that it appears to be
>> possible in Skype 4.0 beta 3 to add people to a conference even if
>> you're not the host!  This feature, sometimes called "answer/join" by
>> fans of it from the Skype 2.0 days, has been absent for a very long
>> time.
>>
>> For anyone interested in trying Skype 4:
>>
>> 1.  Read my web site page about this script release,
>>
>>    http://www.dlee.org/skype/skype4.php
>>
>> I am likely to update that page from time to time.  Some of it may
>> already be slightly out of date in fact.  I must stress, though, that
>> you could get some big surprises if you try installing these scripts
>> without first reading that page.
>>
>> 2.  Be aware that SkypeWatch is not supported in Skype 4 at this time.
>> More about this on the above page.  I'm trying to get Skype to fix
>> this issue internally.
>>
>> 3.  Be prepared to return to Skype 3 if you need it for something
>> specific that is not in Skype 4.  Sadly, this would include the hot
>> keys such as Alt+PageUp to answer calls, as these are still not
>> implemented in Skype 4.
>>
>> 4.  If all that didn't scare you off, grab the scripts from the URL I
>> gave earlier, grab Skype 4.0 beta 3 directly from skype.com or from
>> wherever you normally go, and give it all a whirl.
>>
>> 5.  Report any problems you have to this list and also on the Jira bug
>> reporting site for Skype, which is at
>>
>>    https://developer.skype.com/jira/
>>
>> I ask this so that Skype developers and management can see
>> the number of blind users who are trying to use their product.  When
>> writing to Skype directly, keep in mind that they already know
>> accessibility is important.  This is about showing them numbers of
>> people, as priorities are often affected by such numbers.  In other
>> words, be nice, but you don't have to be quiet. :)
