Then I invite you to let me know what you are changing in your version of Ubuntu, so we can include it in the main Ubuntu release. I personally believe that it is much better to do as much as can be done in the main ubuntu release, so that people who don't have access to the net, or the resources that we have here, such as the orca list et al, can benefit.

I pondered making a separate version of Ubuntu for this reason a while ago, but was convinced to put my changes into Ubuntu proper.

Feel free to contact me off-list to discuss what you are doing, and how best we can integrate your changes into Ubuntu proper.
