Hiya mate,
Thanks for the info.
Thatâs really interesting stuff! Not sure I can justify completely leaving
Windows, although itâs something which Iâd quite like to do so I can stop
messing about every time I break the damn system.
Hope youâre doing OK mate!
Take care,
Chris Norman

I hope this helps,

Howdy,
Chrys and I are proud to announce the immediate availability of a
simple plugin system for Orca. You can now write plugins for Orca in
any language you choose. Arch linux users can install the plugin
system from the AUR as simpleorcapluginsystem-git.
Other distro users can clone the package by typing:
git clone https://github.com/chrys87/simple-orca-plugin-system.git
cd simple-orca-plugin-system
view the README.md file for installation instructions. Setup is very easy.
When everything is installed, restart orca. You can access the plugin
manager by pressing orca+control+p. 3 plugins are included by default.
The plugin manager, which itself is a plugin, as well as workspace
(tells which desktop you are currently using) and clipboard (tells you
what is currently in the clipboard).
The plugin system is a work in progress. We have released it now as a
public beta. there may be bugs, plese let us know if you find any.
Contact information:
Chrys and I are both available on irc.netwirc.tk in channel #talkingarch
the project page is https://github.com/chrys87/simple-orca-plugin-system
I am available also on GNU Social as @storm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You may also contact me via email with questions or bugs, or whatever.
my website is https://stormdragon.tk/
If you would like to host plugins for the plugin manager to install,
please let me know.
I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do. It's been fun to write
plugins for this thing :) Also, thanks Chrys for all your awesome work
on this code.
Storm
thanks again,
Majid Hussain

Hiya mate,
I tried Mate on my Mac this morning and was pleasantly surprised. I too
couldn't get wireless to connect, but I didn't delve deep enough into the
shortcut keys I don't think.
I seem to remember there being a bunch of panels which one could control alt
tab to, one of which contained the WIFI indicator.
I only stopped playing with it because I was booted from a Live DVD and
everything suddenly stopped working, I had things to do, and it was going to
take too long to boot again.
Not sure if I'll partition and do the whole install thing, but I have an old
box here which needs something fun doing with it, so maybe I'll install it
on there.
Cheers,
Take care,
Chris Norman

Hi Chris,
Actually, Ubuntu Mate is my second choice for an OS, and that is only
because, although Orca is quite good, I don't think it stacks up to JFW.
Ironically, I think Linux is safer and less sluggish, but I need to go
with
the screen access.
I do use Linux exclusively when I need to manipulate drives, or to rescue
Windows.
I sometimes use nano editor in a terminal, but I have found that Gedit has
gotten better with Orca.
I think the best solution is to have both systems at hand.
HTH.
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
Sorry, thought I'd replied to this message, but apparently not.
Do you Ubuntu as your main OS? How do you find it's accessibility stacks
up
against the other mainstream systems?
I do a lot of work in Python, what's the best text editor for coding?
indent
matching and so forth?
Cheers,
Take care,
Chris Norman

Chris,
Ubuntu Mate 15.10 is running Orca quite well.
I use Voxin synth on it, which is the sound of the IBM ViaVoice.
The only annoyance I have found with it is that I cannot find the WIFI
in
the top panel.
If you know how to configure WIFI in Internet and Networks, just go to
add,
and you can select WIFI, and on my netgear router, I use the type as the
one
that includes the word "personal" and I enter my SSID and password and I
get
in.

Hi all,
With all this talk of RPI's and Orca, what state is Orca currently in?
Last I heard it wasn't being all that actively maintained, but I can't
remember where I heard that, so not sure if it's true or whatever.
Just wondering if a Linux Desktop experience is worth chasing down.
Mostly when I'm on Windows I'm running Python with WX, which I believe
has a GTK front-end, so would I be able to do all of that stuff with
Linux?
Cheers,
