Question of Orca upgrade with final 2.24 version in Hardy?

2008-08-22 Thread Hammer Attila
Dear List!

Luke, you doed this repository with launchpad:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/accessibility-dev/ubuntu hardy main

When 2.24.0 GNOME and Orca coming out, possible replace Orca with this 
version official (stable version)?

Why ask I this question?
Hungarian blind users now using 2.22.3 GNOME and 2.22.3 Orca version, 
but 2.24.99-pre Orca version is lot of new features (better Firefox 
webbrowsing and better structural navigation, new tutorial messages 
function, better hungarian translations and bug fixes etc).

Ok, know, user please upgrade Intrepid, but Hardy is a long term support 
distribution release, but not upgrade GNOME 2.22 to 2.24 because it is a 
drastical change the distribution?
Or it is not true?

How can doing upgrade all users with Orca version only (official 
repository same for you repository) but stable version?
Or it is long and hard work, lot of mistakes, simplest upgrade with 
intrepid?

Thanks,

Attila

could You try to think about making language selection menu more accessible?

2008-08-22 Thread Mgr. Janusz Chmiel
Dear core developers of Ubuntu accessibility subsystems,

I would like to please You, if your development team would be so kind and 
if You would try to think about making language accessibility menu during 
booting from A live CD more accessible. 

Could be very complex to make algorithm, which could enable visually impaired 
users to choose A specific language by pressing two first letter of a word, 
which describes A specific language? Visually impaired user can not determine, 
how many times he or she must press down arrow key to choose language. This 
choice is very remarkable aspecially when visually impaired user is using Orca 
and choice to perform A installation of Ubuntu from A boot menu. I Am aware, 
that if A boot image is written in Assembler language, You do not like to 
modifi this source code and You are also limited by a syze of boot image file. 
But if it would be possible, atleast try to think about my suggestion.

Thank You very much for Your answer.

The kindness regards.

Janusz Chmiel

I have a question about the shut down menu

2008-08-22 Thread mike
Hi, good job Luke. I do have one question though.
   I see the shut down screen doesn't seem to work, and I don't even see a menu 
with restart on it? Also I red something about a feature that was suppose to 
have been added to this menu where you can set up a guest account for temporary 
access.
   Does anyone know anything about this? 
Mike.
