[orca-list] lots of things working great with the April 1St daily build

[Krishnakant Mane]

Hi Justin,
I was actually thinking on putting it on my blog.
I will actually do so in the morning.
Right now I am travelling in rural part of Maharashtra, a state in India.
I am going to give a hands-on demo     on Ubuntu 12.04 as a big 
univercity in that area is shifting to foss and like many institutes 
they consult me.
I will have some more inputs when I do it in the morning and in the 
process I will also know some more good or bad things about accessibility.
Then we can surely make this into a document.
Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
