Re: [orca-list] Accessibility of Chromium / Google Chrome

["Alex H." <linuxx64 bashsh gmail com>]

Hi,

I am not too familiar compiling source, but can test dev builds. I am
particularly interested in some sort of testing repo like Storm
suggested. A lot of people know how Orca works but wouldn't want to
deal with the technical know-how to get it up and running.

Cheers!
Alex
