As for most of the community driven projects I would say that resources is a main factor that one need to prioritise the work you put in. Myself, I got a full time job, learning the ropes on how to be a parent and juggle my time with a lot of activities. When I get the opportunity to contribute to a project (Ubuntu Studio in my case) I have to prioritise where to put my small contribution. For the 13.10 release I tried to get in accessibility in the ISOs, but due to not having enough time (resource) I could not do enough testing to make it work and the result was that speech with orca was not supported on the ISOs (though brltty and orca are). /Jimmy
