[orca-list] Best distros for stable and latest gnome/orca

[David Sexton <david explorechange net>]

Hi,

I manage the technology section at the International Institute for 
Social Entrepreneurs in Kerala India.
We promote the use of open-source technology to our participants who are 
starting social projects around the world - mainly in developing countries.
About half our participants are blind and use orca during the course. It 
would be useful for orca development to get feedback from these 
participants on problems they encounter during their work with orca.
For that reason, I would like to have a few computers set up with the 
very latest, cutting edge versions of gnome and orca.

However, when they graduate and go on to start their projects, I'd like 
them to have the very most stable distro, gnome and orca versions.
Currently we run vinux 3.2 and ubuntu 11.04, but I'm not afraid to check 
out debian or arch if those offer better results: for testing and for 
stability.
I am also interested in promoting orca and gnome accessibility to local 
programmers, but not sure how they could get involved in helping out.

Also if you know of any accessible programs apart from openoffice that 
would be useful for running small to medium organizations. Accounting 
software for example.

With best wishes,
David
