Kenny,
I'd be willing to help with this documentation effort. I installed sarge
on a test machine. I added x-windows, brltty and festival packages. What's
next? Below are a few initial questions I thought of. Some of the answers
are probably obvious to an exerienced debian user, but I'm somewhere toward
the other end of the spectrum.
Q: The brltty installed by sarge is outdated (3.4 I think). How do I
rebuild it with a newer version without confusing the apt packaging system?
Do I first remove the debian package and build brltty from sources? If so,
debian won't know that I have brltty installed.
q: when I installed the brltty package, it didn't ask me whether I wanted
brlapi support. Is there a way to include brlapi support within the
context of debian package management or am I better off not using the
package approach and building from sources.
Q: How do I install the required packages for gnome and gnopernicus? Maybe
we'll again be in a situation where we install the stock gnome packages and
build some or all of the accessibility stuff from sources.
Q: What about mozilla? Does debian have packages or do we build from
sources?
I believe that a clearly documented roadmap would go a long way towards
demistifying the gnoem experience.
