Once I am back in work I will be able to check the Gnome list everyday, but this isn't a list I generally visit at home as I am too busy with the vinux mailing list.

Just a brief comment, related to this "non-free video drivers".

Just to mention that GNOME 3 would include:

  * Default desktop: new interaction based on GNOME Shell, that 
requires 3D hw acceleration
  * Classic desktop: basically 2.32 desktop, plus all the rest of the 
changes. The purpose of this classic desktop is being the fallback for 
people without hw acceleration and accessibility.

So, if your problem is just the non-free video drivers, it would be also 
good to test the Classic GNOME desktop.

Unfortunately, we just have not had the time to get to that yet. if someone from your community has expertise in writing accessible installers, we would love to have such a contribution. In the meantime, what I am planning on doing for the next spin of the distro is cause Orca to be launched automatically. People who do not need Orca can always quit it. :-) This should make the A11y Team’s testing tool more accessible to users. Would this address your immediate concerns?

We’re a small team working with a number of downstreams, and while we want to actively participate in each of those communities, it is not always practical.
