2) Display manager
I have come accross the following blueprint for oneiric:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-lightdm
Does this mean that LightDM is going to replace GDM?
That is my proposal. The decision will be made at UDS, however at the
last UDS there seemed good support for it (I delayed the use due to
Unity last cycle) so I am hopeful that people will agree it is worth
changing to.
So chances might be good for it to be adopted.
I just ran a test session in natty where I replaced GDM with the
LightDM display manager available in the repository, but I did not get
beyond the login screen, because there was no explicit way to enable
an onscreen keyboard...
Thanks for testing. a11y is a high priority requirement for LightDM and
I'm looking for requirements. If you're able to attend the UDS session
that would be awesome as I need experienced a11y people to give me a
list of requirements and good feedback.
Sorry, I am not attending UDS.
Concerning the implementation of the accessibility features, I suppose that the
best will be to have contact with several people in order to cover the
different kinds of accessibility needs. As a pointer only user, I can tell you
how I imagine things for people that control the computer with only a mouse
(with and without a hardware button to click).
Unfortunately, I can't help you with the accessibility features needed by
switch users, or visually, auditive or cognitive impaired users.
Recently, I read the following on a gnome list: the other of that email (I do
not know him) might be of some help concerning switch access.

And last, but not least:the Accessibility Team of Ubuntu...
There is already a little menu to increase the font size and set a
high contrast. Thus, I would like to ask whether this menu could not
be enhanced with more accessibility features; maybe also turning it
into a dialog. A starting point might be the accessibility features
available in the GDM accessibility dialog.
Absolutely. The current implementation is very basic, and any new login
screen that would be released in Ubuntu will require a design and these
features implemented.
Great,:-)
Cheers,
Francesco
