Re: [orca-list] starting orca in linux mint?

[Luis González <luisg123v gmail com>]

I was wondering if it would be a good idea writing to Linux Mint's
team so we can now whether they're planning on making that distro
accessible, or they definitely won't do so (maybe someone has already
done?).

In my understanding, it wouldn't be so hard to accomplish (at least
the mate-based version), because mate desktop is currently "accessible
enough"
