I filed several when I wrote this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Reviews/GOK . Call that griping if you like, but I call it constructive criticism. It's certainly a 'willingness to engage cooperatively to improve the existing Gnome onscreen keyboard suite'. Read the article and the linked bug reports and I think you will agree.

Being designed by experts does not automatically make it good. Widespread testing by real-life users is a more reliable path to success IMO. But for that to work the product must be usable (if not quite feature complete) and the developers must be responsive to feedback. We have a fair amount of input from real-life users of on-screen keyboards and I value that more than the view of experts. > I would very much like to work cooperatively with you and with the rest > of the Ubuntu team, but in the context of improving our existing OSKs. > And I would like to cooperate with you in making a new and better one (and I tried it your way first). Neither look likely to happen now. - Henrik _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
