Re: [orca-list] cli-based distro

emacs-w3m-snapshot ought to help.  It will download extra files which it 
needs to work.  Once done inside of emacs you could try alt-x followed 
by typing w3m <enter> and see if a web browser starts up.  It does over 
here.  A browser called w3 is no longer supported while w3m continues to 
be supported.  For other browsers, you'll need to know how to write lisp 
code to install them and put that in your .emacs file.

Hello,
Also there might be localization and internationalization issues while using
the console only. I haven't been able to find an answer to this however I
haven't done an extensive search since I am only using the real console for
maintenance, installation etc.
While using speakup, espeakup and espeak I have issues reading non ascii
characters. The console is set to UTF-8. Is this solved somewhere or speakup
can't handle unicode at this point?

Greetings

Peter

This thread is of big interest to me, as I am about too choose a command

web browser. I was trying to start the one in emacs, but had no luck.
Is anyone successful with using a web browser inside emacs?
Please point to the source of such a browser, if possible.

This is an article in wiki about Emacs W3:

elinks is available and sometimes edbrowse depending on distribution.
These provide a little better support than lynx.  If the clifox project
ever gets working all the way though, it will provide a command line
interface between itself and firefox.  Adobe's flash can be a problem
unless clifox can render flash content once firefox gets finished with
it.  For pdf files though conversion utilities exist that can handle
text.  This is quite a complex picture with lots of wrinkles in it.

In every other area the command line environment can be extremely

as far as I can tell.

We also aim to provide a command line

There's already a command-line Talking Archlinux which I've used a
little
bit:

I haven't yet tried installing a DE but just wondered how the new
sonar
would compare to it.


environment at all, or who would choose to only use a graphical
environment parttime and would install their chosen desktop later.
This is best achieved by using an Arch derivative, as it does
exactly

this.

Additionally, Manjaro has its own repositories divided into 3
branches:
unstable, which syncs with Arch and where packages are tested by
developers and users who want to be as close to Arch as possible,
testing, where packages are tested by users who are interested in
reporting any bugs or instability they find, and stable, which picks
up fixes from testing and unstable, and is considered ready for use
by
anyone who just needs a stable environment with few issues. It is
possible to move freely between branches at any time, i.e. to move
from stable to unstable and then downgrade back to testing or all
the
way back to stable.

We intend to provide live images that will be based on GNOME shortly
after its release, and we will continue experimenting with LXDE,
providing live images shortly after it is released. These live
images
are to be based on Manjaro's stable branch. However, because Manjaro
is a rolling release, it will not be necessary to download a new iso
every
6 months, as stable packages are updated weekly. It's kinda like
running Debian Unstable or Arch, but minimizing the breakage that

sometimes occurs.

Additionally, using Manjaro as a base will make it easier for the
development team to keep Sonar updated. Using Ubuntu to provide
GNOME
3.10 would have required repackaging most of the GNOME desktop in a
PPA, which seemed a bit like having to reinvent the wheel,
especially
since Ubuntu GNOME will apparently still be using mostly GNOME 3.8
with some
3.6 packages once 13.10 is released. Manjaro, on the other hand,
will
be receiving a complete GNOME 3.10 desktop from Arch, which will hit
the stable branch very shortly afterward, so it will be ready for
Sonar much more quickly. Once 3.10 is available in Manjaro's repos,
building its Sonar iso will be a very simple matter of running a
single command that builds it based on our specifications and then
uploading it to the website. We also have much more fine-grained
control over what we want on the live image and the installed system
than we did with the Ubuntu build system. Yes, we can actually take
out Empathy and Evolution, which are having issues with Orca,
without
losing metapackages and causing other packaging issues. We can
remove
some of those games that  Orca can't help us play as well. We can
even
replace the display manager at will, offering whatever will provide
the

best talking login screen.

And I'm sure people have started seeing the word "we" a lot in this
message and are probably wondering what that's all about. Well,I'll
come right out and say it, I'm officially on the Sonar team,
although
it wasn't me who drove the project to migrate to Manjaro. I was all
ready to try my hand at helping to repackage GNOME for a PPA that
would have been used to make the 13.10 Sonar release. We just heard
about Manjaro and found out just how easy it is to build it into
exactly the iso we want it to be, and we started working closely
with
the Manjaro team, and were very pleasantly surprised by how far we
were able to go with it in just 4 days. So yeah, I'm very excited to
be on the team, and I'm very excited to be working with an amazing
Arch derivative for the foundation of Sonar's future releases. I
hope
this clears up any confusion about where the Sonar project is going
and why. Any other questions can be directed to the Sonar team or
the
Accessible Freedom support list, or sent in response to this
message.
