Hi Ken:

Thanks for the reply.

The braille monitor is for debugging/demo purposes only, so it's not 
really high on the end user feature list.  But, yes, there was a bug 
where a tester was repeatedly enabling and disabling this demo/debug 
feature and saw a failure.  We resolved that, though I'd much rather 
see testers testing things of higher importance to end users.  ;-)  I'm 
not sure what bug you're referring to with the speech preferences.

I'm not sure what you mean by this -- going from braille to speech 
output and back to braille is definitely not a feature I've seen 
requested.  In any case, we would definitely welcome you (or whoever is 
doing the testing and bug review) on the orca-list as a means to help 
communicate more directly with users and the team.

Having said that, like any project, Orca is definitely not without 
bugs. In addition, it is in a very precarious situation since it has 
dependencies on almost every desktop component.  We track all bugs, 
including feature enhancement requests and bugs that are not in Orca 
proper, in the Orca bugzilla database.  Our philosophy on bugs is here: 
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Bugs.

So, perhaps we should take the rest of this off line and we can 
communicate more about your concerns.

Thanks again,

Will
