Thanks for your comment. Dasher is clearly very interesting technology and very useful for some groups. Some work has been done in Gnome to make the assistive technology preferences more general and flexible so that distributions and even users can add their own applications easily. Unfortunately that was not ready for Gnome 2.18 and therefore Ubuntu 7.04. With an increasing variety of tools like GOK, onBoard, Orca and LSR this flexible implementation should appear soon. In the meantime we have chosen to focus on a single application for each use case, and feel that onboard covers a similar use case to Dasher. with onboard pre- installed you can use the computer well enough to install Dasher if you wish. Doing so will place an entry for it in the Applications menu.
** Changed in: Ubuntu Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- dasher should be added to assistive technology preferences https://launchpad.net/bugs/97022 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
