[orca-list] Results of Ubuntu-mate 18.04 beta 2 testing

[Krishnakant Mane <kkmane riseup net>]

Dear all,

I just tested Ubuntu-mate 18.04 (Bionic ) beta 2.

I am more than pleased with it's performance so far.

Orca (I guess it is in the 3.27 series) is very fast, snappy and responsive.

I added global menu applet to the top panal in my favorite redmond theme 
and every thing works fine.

Notifications are getting announced correctly and I am not faceing the 
Orca going blank on desktop issue any more.

In fact I am thinking of actually installing the same on my laptop.

I guess that once final release happens, I can just upgrade to that 
without re-installation of any sorts.

I am also surprised that the live boot on pendrive itself is so fast.

Only thing that did bother me is, I did not knew when to press alt + 
Super + s to start Orca.

I did a wild guess and it worked, because the desktop had come by that time.

Mate tweak needs some attention for accessibility though.

Happy hacking.

Krishnakant.
