Hi :)

Accessibility is important. Unfortunately in LO it seems to heavily and
thoroughly depend on Java which the entire rest of the project is trying to
break free from.
Apparently under Apache their version of OpenOffice is going to acquire all the
accessibility stuff from IBM. AOO's version 4.0 (due out around February?) is
apparently going to incorporate all that in a new UI. I'm not convinced they
will actually manage it or even that the rumour is true.
A side issue is that Impress seems to attract far less devs-time and doesn't
seem to be as excellent as Writer, Calc or Draw. However i tend to feel the
same about PowerPoint too. PP seems to have more functionality but it's a Pita
to use and not just because of the usual MS issues. There are a lot of
independent programs that do a far better job of producing and running
slide-shows. I keep losing the lists that people give me but even your package
manager might give some good ideas.

Thanks for those great points and for warning of the code coming from
IBM. We should not count on the code being added if we are going to turn
this particular discussion of enhancing Impress accessibility code into
a budgetary item. Requests should go in as if no new code were being
worked on.
So, unless there is a wishlist attached to this particular discussion,
we could perhaps start a new thread on it where it could be better
discussed.
Just FYI, as this thread is about funding wishlist, we are trying to
avoid cross-posting as it will make it more difficult for me to go
around and pick out the different wishlist attributed to their
particular teams.
We should also try to keep the discussion on topic as we need the the
list for next year's budget projections. I have not been given a
deadline to collect these but I imagine that the BoD will need some info
pretty soon.
As long as the wishlist suggestions are reasonable, the BoD will look at it.
Cheers,
Marc
