Meeting Summary

Testing Distro

Joseph provided a patch to orca to upgrade from using GConf to GSettings that fixed orca <-> gs-mag communication, but had the effect of revealing another bug (652500), a dbus exception which he is currently fixing.
Joseph will provide a patch to fix bug 652500.
Joanie will roll a new tarball from master once she has Joseph's patch.
Javi will spin a new (and possibly the last accessibility-specific) spin of the testing distro once he has the new tarball from Joanie and any other required changes requested by our team.
Javi is afraid about how to manage new code into new spins and he asked the a11y team if they all agree with only providing tarballs, not isolated patches.
AGREED: the a11y team will provide only tarballs to Javi.

Some gtk widgets were deprecated: GtkHBox, GtkVBox. This affects current gail implementation, and in fact, there are some warnings related to that.
Joanie opened bugs against Accerciser and Orca to do the needed changes, but this likely affects most of our team's modules.
In the meantime, modules can use -UGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED.
After porting to gtk3, Javi may count on Aline's help to fix bug 652485
There are other deprecations, like in glib, but for the moment it is not clear if this will affect final apps or just base libraries.
Conclusion: We will wait, and talk about it again in the future.

Javi's working on Matthias' reported issue. Javi had only a solid lock up with jhbuild, but he needs to investigate more about this, because isn't clear how to reproduce it.
Mike hasn't yet added the "do nothing if no one is listening" to atk-bridge that he said he'd have done for 3.1.3.

Brian:
- Send a mail summarizing his proposal regarding a testing-centered design.
- Announce his Mago tests on the gnome-accessibility-devel list, and also create a README and INSTALL.
Mike:
- Modify atk-bridge not to listen for atk signals and send out events unless an AT is listening. (This will likely involve modifying at-spi2-core as well, to add a way of tracking active ATs.)
Javi:
- Investigate Matthias' statement that when he tries to run Accerciser in jhbuild on his system, it "locks up solid after a few minutes every single time."
Joseph:
- Investigate if it is feasible to call libatspi using javascript (ie: on gnome-shell)
Piñeiro:
- Work with Joanie on prioritizing the tasks identified during the ATK hackfest.
- Review the documentation page.
