I'll figure something else out, I guess. Ugh this is disheartening. I

would at least give me a working GNOME 3 and current at-spi2.


that is an ascii art captcha, which is interesting, not seen one of 
those before. If you use IRC feel free to message me the captcha and I 
will tell you what it says. I am AlanBell on the freenode network.

OK, thanks Alan.

Nevermind about the question on the account creation. In rereading the
post, I now understand what account was being referred to. Sorry for my
stupidity!

I'm not going to say you don't have valid reasons to be disappointed,
but I wouldn't give up hope on 12.04 altogether. We're only a week or
two past feature freeze, and we're only on the first beta for 12.04. I
agree it would have been better if accessibility had played a bigger
role during the design and development phases, but there is still time
to get bugs resolved.

yes, and these issues are being raised with the relevant developers.


I'm also not sure about the relationship between Gnome and Unity, but I
thought 12.04 would be shipping with Unity and not Gnome 3.

Unity is a shell for Gnome, but it is not Gnome-Shell. Unity will be 
shipping with most of the stuff that is considered the Gnome 3 desktop, 
but there will be some bits and pieces that are Gnome 2 I believe. The 
Gnome desktop is a heap of applications from the Gnome project, 
including stuff like Gedit, Orca etc. One application in the full Gnome 
3 desktop is Gnome-Shell. That isn't being shipped by default but that 
application can be installed.

What account creation process are you talking about? Where are you
trying to create an account?

I'm not going to say you don't have valid reasons to be disappointed,
but I wouldn't give up hope on 12.04 altogether. We're only a week or
two past feature freeze, and we're only on the first beta for 12.04. I
agree it would have been better if accessibility had played a bigger
role during the design and development phases, but there is still time
to get bugs resolved.

I'm also not sure about the relationship between Gnome and Unity, but I
thought 12.04 would be shipping with Unity and not Gnome 3.

I thought I'd post to Brainstorm about this, so I wrote a letter. Only, 
the account creation process uses an ASCII CAPTCHA with no audio 
equivalent. I can't even run that past WebVisum.
