Re: [orca-list] Task for budding Orca script writer: Update/refresh the ubiquity installer orca script.

[Tom Masterson <kd7cyu yahoo com>]

Hi Luke

Do you still need someone to work on this?  I use ubuntu as my main distro 
and am currently using Lucid.  I don't use ubiquity (obviously since I did 
not know the script was broke either) but I can see what I can do in my 
"spare time".  Gives me a good reason to dive into orca scripting.
