Re: 13.10 problems

[Krishnakant Mane]

This time around when 13.10 came out, I was a bit more hopefull that 
this will be a fine precursor to the next lts release which will have 
wonderful progress since 12.04.
But Now my worries are getting more and more grave as to how long will 
we have to stay with 12.04 as the most accessible distro of Ubuntu?
People like me can still use Arch, because we understand some 
commandline stuff and fix things here and there.

But what about absolute end users?
For them some thing like Ubuntu perfectly fits the bill.
I only hope we have a sharp turn around and 14.04 LTS comes out with 
great accessibility.

Happy hacking.

From what I have heard, historically the aim for accessibility are often
focused on the LTS releases, so hopefully the 14.04 release will be spot on.

As for the goal for Ubuntu Studio is to make the installation accessible
with braille and speech. We didn't get it fixed all the way for the 13.10
release, only braille support was included. For 14.04 the hope is to have
it all up an running. There are some issues still since Ubuntu Studio as
default use Xfce. But for 14.04 Ubuntu Studio is also aiming for being DE
agnostic so it wouldn't matter which desktop you prefer to run.
