[nvda] Re: nvda Tutorial

Hi Doris,
I had planned to ock up a tutorial covering nvda, and some basic thunderbird, firefox, open office, and other open source applications as related to NVDA, in the same vain as the now defunct jaws for windows and window-eyes tutorials. I was just going to dump it on the developers and let them distribute it however they wanted.
It got derailed for a couple of reasons. The actual nvda documentation was in sore need of updating,. I was going to undertake it, but I'm not really sure how to get started. That has to be done before the tutorial, since I had planned to work pretty closely with the documentation during the making of the tutorial.
It'd be nice to have a seperate $200-$300 desktop to work with for purposes of the tutorial so that I could lay a whole bunch of programs I don't normally use on it and have them all running nice and seemless. Actually, I've just thought that A vm might serve that purpose and it would be quite a lot cheeper than a new computer. So, thats one problem out of the way. Love apple.
I also wanted the tutorial to cover braille and setting up braille devices, which was not an option until recently and hasn't really been perfected yet. I would be willing to start this now though if I can get help updating the documentation. Maybe it could be ready for the next stable releace of NVDA. 

Best,

Hi,guys,
Some time ago, theer was talk about creating an nvda tutorial on this list. Did anything ever become of that project?
I was in contact with someone from the US$100-computer-for-the-blind project out of Texas. They ship a demo of Win Eyes on their computer. i had asked them why they did not put nvda on those machines that would not have the 30-minute timeout limitation. The reply I got back said that they used win eyes because they had a good tutorial for it.The guy also requested more information about nvda though.
This is why I was wondering if we have a tutorial for nvda now that people can be pointed to. i think it would be great if nvda was put on those computers for people. For one, they would have a screenreader that didn't time out on them every 30 minutes and it would also help nvda become better known still. 

Thanks much.

Doris
