Re: [orca-list] lots of things working great with the April 1St daily build

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

I propose we get rid of this guess work and trial/error, and just make the 
thing come up talking, in Unity2d.  Let's have Orca come up talking and 
brailling, but with a black screen!  We can make an "accessible startup", 
for the sighted to use, but, let's have an obscure, barely-memorible set 
of keystrokes be required in order to get this startup.  Let's change 
the sequence with each release, and be sure to break "accessibility" 
during the Beta cycle.  We can leak
 trial-and-error based partial solutions to the various 
mailing lists, used by the sighted.



April Fools,



Dave
