Hi All:
From a stability standpoint, I can share what I'm planning for GNOME
2.30, which I suspect is likely to be what Lucid Lynx will be based upon.
The main goal for GNOME 2.30 (which you'll see

Maybe that I should add a few words for the pointer only users.
(In the following, pointer users means users that are able to move the
pointer in any direction, but that are not able to perform any input
with a hardware keyboard.)

Karmic accessibility seems to be working ok, with some other hickups.

Well, yes, there are work-arounds for the volume. However, though I
realise it's not Ubuntu's fault, having to restart speech dispatcher
every few minutes makes the whole release a PITA for Orca users.
Let's face it... Ubuntu kind of fell off the wagon for accessibility.

Hi, Luke.
Thanks for working on accessibility. I feel really rotten about
complaining about the bugs without putting in effort into debugging.
However, my boss is all over me at the moment to get another project
back on schedule. I'm sure you know what that's like.

Hi Luke and all.
Thanks for the work on Ubuntu accessibility. I know that it isn't easy,
and it's something I'd like to chip in and help with. I'm a bit short on
computing resources at the moment (using a netbook full time since

itself but not
