Re: Team Meeting -- topic BUGS
Hi Henrik and everyone, Unfortunately, I was unable to make the meeting today, but I wonder whether there was any discussion on the topic of the install procedure on the Live CD? Yes, I probably sound like a broken record by now, and I'm sorry to keep harping on this single point, but it it would really make a huge difference both in terms of practical usability, and in terms of first impressions for new users if the installer could be accessible without requiring those esoteric settings in .orbitrc. I know that the implementation of the orbitrc is really a Gnome issue, but I wonder if a workaround could be devised, at least for ubiquity until the larger issue is resolved once and for all? Thanks for any thoughts, --Al -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: Team Meeting -- topic BUGS
hello all, I have been a passive listener on the accessibility issue so far. I am in the process of setting up the second foss based computer center for the visually handicap people here in India. In one of the states called karala, it has become the government policy to use foss based systems thus gnu/linux has become mandatory in every institution. well as of now we have had much trouble using orca and time and again need to switch back to emacspeak. while emacs and thus emacspeak is a great desktop at the command line it does have steep learning curve and if one has to take complete advantage of all the features in emacspeak they have to take lot of learning trouble which consumes lot of time. and then it is not a good thing to force every one to work on the command line every now and then. any ways coming to the point, I am wondering whether open office related issues have been fixt for the up coming version of orca and ubuntu? the main problems were responsiveness and font/ attribute identification. I had herd from a few people that firefox with firevox plugin worked well with orca but that never happened in my case. one of my colligue did use it but after some days when he updated orca and other little things in ubuntu it stopped working. so what will be the accessibility status of firefox with ubuntu 7.04? I really want to contribute my services to the visually challenged people for accessibility in foss because our government is ready to provide computers to blind students with 90% discount and the only condition is that they will require to use foss based solutions. I have been given the responsibility to see to it that things are working fine in all institutes in my state and that's the reason I am bothering all of you with my questions. thanks and regards.

Ok, let's make it Feb 28th, 18:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting for another a11y team meeting. :-) Is there a possibility we could push this back a couple of hours to 20:00UTC? If not thats ok, but I'd have a better chance of making it then. -- Luke Yelavich GPG key: 0xD06320CE (http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt) Email MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
