This essentially means we must try things pretty early on and start
reporting bugs agressively.
happy hacking.

Subject: Re: [Kde-accessibility] Ubuntu Unity Desktop to go to Mir and QT
Hello,

Hi, all,
It looks like Ubuntu's Unity desktop will be switching to QT/QML in the
near
future. It looks like they'll be using QT5. Does anyone know the current
state of accessibility for qt5 or QML? We were all disappointed to find
out that Unity 2d was discontinued in Ubuntu 12.04 and it is believed that
Ubuntu 14.04 would continue it's wonderfully accessible legacy. This was
supposed to soothe our ruffled feathers when 12.10 and 13.04 came out with
Unity 3d only which was not as accessible. Well, now, I am curious to know
if the timetable for that level of accessibility in a Ubuntu desktop will
need to be pushed back even more in light of this development. Please see
link below:
Qt 5 contains all the accessibility code that was used for Qt 4, including
the plugin qt-at-spi which will then no longer be needed. Many things have
also been improved since we learned from finally making Qt 4 accessible.
All in all this means that the Qt 5 based Unity should be able to reach the
level of the old Unity and hopefully exceed it. Of course that's still up to
the Unity developers and probably a fix here or there in Qt, but generally I
would expect things to look good.
Greetings
Frederik
