Hey folks,
Since Unity has been introduced, many strides have been made with
accessibility. Unity 3D is approximately 80% accessible, so far as official
oneiric packages go, and unity-2d is 99% accessible, thanks to the great work
from the QT a11y folks, and the unity-2d developers. Both are likely to be 100%
accessible for the LTS, which is great. However, they are not the only areas of
accessibility that need improving.
I have already started making a work item list of issues to address, to give
the desktop more pollish when it comes to accessibility. Such issues include:
* Making sure all indicators have accessible descriptions/labels.
* Making sure any icons in indicator menus that need accessible
descriptions/labels have them, a prime use case is network manager, to indicate
wireless network strength.
* Further pollish on Ubiquity's accessibility, particularly selecting a
timezone.
* Connecting up the rest of the accessibility profiles in the ubiquity a11y
indicator.
* Further pollish of the unity greeter accessibility experience.
* Make sure the accessibility experience between unity 2d and 3d is the same.
The list I have is slightly more technical and goes into more detail, but what
is listed above is the gist of what I have. Whether this needs a session at UDS
I don't know, but a blueprint will likely be needed for work items tracking.
