[orca-list] Priorities GNOME-Shell 3.4 (was Re: Trying Quantal Quetsal Alpha 3)

[Piñeiro <apinheiro igalia com>]

Hi,

on Ubuntu 12.04 gnome-shell 3.4.1 is being shipped. This was,
IMHO-AFAIK, the first version of gnome shell "usable enough", in the
sense that Orca users could use it. In fact for the first time, Orca
users are reporting GNOME Shell bugs. BTW, thanks everyone !

Anyway, I thought that those new bugs (and existing bugs) severity were
in the range low-normal. But looking to this mail, it seems that there
are still major bugs that prevents Orca users using GNOME Shell.

At this momet, the main problems that I knew that are still open are:
  * Volume slider is still not accessible [1] (workaround: open sound
settings)
  * Battery power level are not accessible. This also affects which is
the current wifi connection [2]

So as we are in the middle of 3.6 cycle (probably the version to be used
on ubuntu 12.10), it would be good to know in which stuff we should
focus. So, I would like to ask the Orca list which are the major stuff
that prevents to an Orca user to use gnome shell.

Thanks
