I've been following this, and it seems like the gnome 2.4 transition started Tuesday if I understand correctly. They already uploaded a few packages, and they have 2.4 including most of the a11y stuff at an unofficial repository. http://people.debian.org/~fpeters/gnome2.4 The latest gnopernicus itself isn't there, but all the stuff it needs seems to be. Gnome-speech 0.2.7 atk 1.4, at-spi 1.3.7 etc. I really hope these packages make it in. I was going to wait until sarge release to try installing again, but if the gnome a11y stuff gets updated I might try sooner. If we could get speakup and emacspeak 18.0 in there in time as well this sarge would be very up to date with accessibility. As a matter of fact, I think as soon as they fix the daily isos I'll try again so I can test that speakup kernel for you. Regards, Justin Ekis
