New Mailing List Signee

[Mike Pedersen]

Hello Arielle, welcome to the list.  Probably your best place to start
learning about Orca is by checking out the Orca Wiki at:
live.gnome.org/Orca.  There you will find lots of information on getting
and using the latest orca as well as working with the nightly builds of
Firefox.  
Hope this helps.
