Unity 3D is approximately 80% accessible, so far as official oneiric packages go, and unity-2d is 99% accessible, thanks to the great work from the QT a11y folks, and the unity-2d developers. Both are likely to be 100% accessible for the LTS, which is great. However, they are not the only areas of accessibility that need improving.

>   * Connecting up the rest of the accessibility profiles in the ubiquity a11y indicator.
>   * Further pollish of the unity greeter accessibility experience.
>   * Make sure the accessibility experience between unity 2d and 3d is the same.

Can we add to the list installation and setup process?
I had met some people with disabilities during the RMLL in France 
(French FLOSS event) and tried with them ubiquity, + setup Orca + 
magnification and I clearly saw that it's was quite buggy and not really 
helpful when you don't know all the shortcuts. This kind of tracking 
would be helpful. I have a full detailed list of issues we got.
