Thanks for getting us focused on this Will. I've added some ideas to the wiki http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/GetInvolved?action=diff&rev2=30&rev1=28 My top 5 plus a bonus item: 1) Alt input - 1st class access for those not using mouse or keyboard or needing tweaks to them. 2) Evangalise and support, we need to get users and support organisations out of the proprietary + Windows mindset. 3) Support and resources for app developers to ensure all apps are fully accessible. Also encourage new new AT developers. 4) Reading/writing support e.g e-books with highlighting and word prediction 5) Standard TTS that just works with simple API (including all general sound issues) and Bonus) blue sky and innovation - lets make GNOME a11y lead the way and be where a11y users want to be. (I'm assuming D-bus migration is happening anyway) As for how I can get involved well I think we should seriously discuss the entire Alt input landscape once David Bolter comes back on stream. I've reached a pause in Jambu grant from Mozilla so now is a good time for me especially if I can find funding (as I need to pay the bills). For the next few months family commitments mean I have reduced availability and as I think we need to review the big picture of Alt access I'd also be very interested in working on documentation and resources for developers (or users). Oh the Python Magazine article on Python a11y, GNOME, pyatspi and accerciser etc will be released for free use on 20 Feb so it can go on the wiki. I'm always on the look out for a chance to evangelise Open Source a11y and especially GNOME and Mozilla and would love to do more formally. ;-) I usually 'spout off' through fullmeasure.co.uk, oatsoft.org.uk, schoolforge.org.uk and did a recent poster presentation at UK RAaTe a11y conference http://fullmeasure.co.uk/raate07 and which is CC. -- Steve Lee -- Jambu - Alternative Access to Computers www.fullmeasure.co.uk _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
