Hi all,
I just tested the latest daily Live CD yesterday and found that it now
has the new 'F4' option for accessibility features. Yay! I still can't
get over how cool that is :) What other distro (or OS) has that level of
support built in from start? OK, so it doesn't actually do anything just
yet :/
That's where we have a job to do. We need to identify exactly which
applications must be installed with which settings for the different
modes. For example AFAIU, to run gnopernicus sucessfully with screen
reading, esd must be turned of, so we must ensure that it is off by
default in that mode. I'll make a wiki page where we can list these
things in detail, so we make sure devs setting it have the info they need.
Of course we also have to TEST the individual AT features that will now
be available by default. When I tried gnopernicus in Dapper a few days
ago it completely broke my X. Anyone have it working? I'll try again in
a few days and if it's still broken start filing bugs.
I'd like to schedule a meeting for next week, now that we have some
important thinks to talk about. Is Wednesday still a good day for
everyone? 19.00 UTC?
