[23:50] but then they are no longer normal users, they become a tester [23:51] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-accessibility-list/2011-January/msg00071.html is where I'm wondering if there's something we can do to make it clearer how to do testing [23:51] anyone can grab the daily desktop cd and try to do an install with orca [23:53] I wonder if this is one of the things that jono's "use it on a USB stick" would help [23:53] We can't really expect normal users to do much testing, because it does mean running the development version and taking a chance on losing everything at a critical time [23:53] yeah [23:53] that's kinda what I figured [23:54] I'm just trying to figure out answers to the "Ubuntu doesn't test a11y" that shows up on other lists [23:54] I don't if a USB test will work with orca. I have no system capable of that [23:54] *nods* [23:54] I'll poke AlanBell about it tomorrow [23:54] the answer is the same answer we give every other "does not test enough" nonsense. It is, when we have testers willing. [23:55] yeah [23:55] I think at this point I'm more annoyed that it gets said about us, but not to us [23:55] The "doesn't test" is not limited to anything. [23:55] It gets said about Xubuntu and Ubuntu too, but never up front [23:56] That's about the only time I answer a blog or review, too.
