Hi,
I could do some full test and producing a full document to enumerate
improvements prospectives in GNOME. In my opinion, and from my
experience, the main problems "series" 9ould be:
- there are not enough themes related to accessibility, such as
contrast, or other kinds of graphical laxout; so people with low vision
often cannot see gnome properly, in good conditions.
- even with themes, the fact the user is unable to customize the size,
font, colour of each widget is a problem. Thus, it is mportant the user
can customize his theme manually (colour of text box, of windows edge, etc).
- the magnifier starts being better, but some improvements are needed in
zoom and focus follow
- Finally, with Orca, I am confused in the interface. Menus are replaced
with bars, and moving between these bars isn't really easy. alt-ctrl-tab
works, but without structured menu, it becomes difficult to know jhere
are things. Yes, we can search, but user can want to browse his computer
to know programs he has, and some user don't know keywords, etc.
I don't know how such problems can be handled. Because they match to
philosophical choices, wehre although a11y tools are improved, the
interface is not friendly when a user cannot use the mouse or needs
specific display condition.
Someday I'll do a detailed test on Jessie to see the gnome problems in
details.

Note that I'm not saying gnome is very bad for accessibility: as the
chart says it's fine enough. But for the best accessible usability,
MATE is preferrable, thus the idea of tuning the default for the case of
braille & speech.
I'd be interested in specific cases where GNOME could be improved. I can then
forward that to the GNOME accessibility team, maybe some of the feedback will be
useful to them and will result in an improved experience in future releases.
Cheers,
Emilio
