Testing the classic Gnome desktop shouldn't be a problem, although I thought

This classic GNOME is also GNOME 3. Some people, me included, feel that
this "classic" is a bad name. It was chosen because some other people
felt that "fallback" was despective.
"Classic GNOME" is basically GNOME 3 without GNOME Shell, but due all
the changes on the core technologies, metacity, gnome panel, etc were
also updated, to fulfill the new dependencies (ie: forget bonobo at
all), so yes, the presence of GNOME 3 might cause some few problems.
In fact, using the testing distro allowed us to detect and fix some
problem on the "Classic GNOME".
In summary: as "Classic GNOME" will be the fallback for people lacking
hw acceleration and probably people looking for a better accessibility
support, yes, it should be also tested.
Thanks.

There should now be a few people from Vinux on the Gnome list - please let us
know how we can help - although so far I have not been able to get Gnome 3 to
work on any of my computers as a live CD - I have not tried to install it to
hard drive yet though, which might allow me to install non-free video drivers
and maybe then it will work. Once I am back in work I will be able to check the
Gnome list everyday, but this isn't a list I generally visit at home as I am
too busy with the vinux mailing list.
Just a brief comment, related to this "non-free video drivers".
Just to mention that GNOME 3 would include:
* Default desktop: new interaction based on GNOME Shell, that
requires 3D hw acceleration
* Classic desktop: basically 2.32 desktop, plus all the rest of the
changes. The purpose of this classic desktop is being the fallback for
people without hw acceleration and accessibility.
So, if your problem is just the non-free video drivers, it would be also
good to test the Classic GNOME desktop.

Hi all!
Note that I am moving desktop-devel-list into the BCC field and replacing it
with the gnome-accessibility-list since the chief complaint here seems to be a
testing tool created by our team for our team.

The testing CD is not easily accessible for the blind.
This is a known issue I’m afraid. That is why we’ve included ‘accessible
installer’ on our to-do list. Unfortunately, we just have not had the time to
get to that yet. if someone from your community has expertise in writing
accessible installers, we would love to have such a contribution. In the
meantime, what I am planning on doing for the next spin of the distro is cause
Orca to be launched automatically. People who do not need Orca can always quit
it. :-) This should make the A11y Team’s testing tool more accessible to users.
Would this address your immediate concerns?
Where? google groups: vinux users and developers.
Alternatively, would it be possible for you to join us on #a11y channel in
GimpNet and/or on the gnome-accessibility-list where we do our work and
planning? We’re a small team working with a number of downstreams, and while we
want to actively participate in each of those communities, it is not always
practical.
You need their input, they need your applications, and both can help
out the other.
Agreed! Let’s continue this discussion.
Thanks!
