Hi, Ivan Krstić gave me one of the prototype boards at the Ubuntu Developers Summit though I have not had much time to play with it since I'm still trying to clear the backlog of work that built up while I was away.
Getting a text-to-speech engine included such as espeak would be a good place to start then hard-code some screen reader capability in to the main applications. It would help if someone could send me one of the prototype board power supplies if possible. thanks. On 18/11/06, Christopher Blizzard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, guys! Sorry about the delay, we've been really busy at One Laptop per Child trying to get the first beta-1 machines out the door. We haven't done a huge amount of thinking about a11y at this point and we would love the chance to get you guys involved, certainly for evaluation and testing. What we have done along the lines is to make sure that what we have is 1. really simple, 2. avoiding multiple contexts (i.e. avoiding many top level windows might help a11y) and 2. making sure that context switches are explicit. i.e. every window is full screen, use direct manipulation of objects, windows can't override each other, etc. Notifications happen in one place: on the frame. I imagine a lot of the a11y framework centers around what happens when someone interrupts you. Because all of that goes through once place, it might make live easier for you guys. Last, the technology. We haven't included the a11y bits in our images for space reasons up until now. The stuff is pretty slow, so we need to make sure that we do some testing and measurement to see what works and what doesn't. Do you guys have a plan of where you would like to get started? --Chris _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/sugar
