Re: [orca-list] Audio review of accessibility in Linux.

Hello Will,

Yes, I like that idea and a similar suggestion was given by a few people who
gave comments off list over the last few days.  

I think a tutorial type recording covering the use of a few applications
would be very useful.

I'll be in a better position to start work on this in September as I am only
using SuSE at the moment and it's far from my distribution of choice as I'm
constantly fighting with dependencies.

Darragh:

Thanks for posting this!  I listened to it half-on-half-off while
working my way through e-mail.  As such, I wasn't listen critically for
accuracy and such, but I got the general idea of what you were doing.  I
think you have a pleasant presentation style.

I also think this kind of thing could be very useful, and I could
imagine a periodic audio tutorial from you on how to use specific
applications (e.g., those listed in
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/AccessibleApps).  We could keep links to the
audio tutorials from the AccessibleApps page, and also work to keep the
textual information on each page in sync. I imagine it would help a
large number of people.
