• Log

Python 3

• Recently one guy created a bug about the focus-tracking script not being python3.
• The reporter only changed a single print statement. Joanie commented on the bug.
• Joseph has been hacking away at the focus tracker when he has the time. So far he as fixed two other problems, and is currently working on a third.

• LINK: http://git.gnome.org/browse/accerciser/commit/?id=b9bb2f48eebbf9f21ca633b6ecd6a58d6befe04a

• Accerciser started the python3 migration. Javi is not at the meeting, so we are not sure if the port is complete, but the commit seems to suggest that.
• It would be good if people test and confirm that,
• ACTION: Joanie will be sure jhbuild is modified accordingly for accerciser (if not already done)

GNOME 3.8 updates

• Joanie removed much of the GUI from Orca (splash screen, main window, quit window).
• GNOME 3 does not have keyboard shortcuts to toggle the screen reader which means Orca users have to find some way to launch Orca in order to assign them.
• We really should have these keybindings bound for the desktop.

• LINK: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/KeyboardShortcuts

• ACTION: Piñeiro will ping the design team about keyboard shortcuts to toggle Orca.

W3C updates

• No major news from W3C about ARIA nor IndieUI.

• Joanie asked for info/opinion from W3C about a specific ARIA issue related to WebKitGtk in an email to Joseph.

• Joseph gave a long-ish explanation in a reply email.

Marketing

• The foss2serve students might be interested in helping us clean up our wiki content, etc.
• Since Juanjo was going to take this on, I mentioned to Heidi and her colleagues that these students should get in touch with Juanjo.

• So if you see students in #a11y looking for Juanjo and/or talking about redoing/cleaning up/whatevering our wiki, that's why.

Reminder: Q3's

Miscellaneous Time

• Piñeiro and Joanie were at the WebKitGTK hackfest.
• They focused on getting regression tests "unskipped".
• Joanie has created patches to add ATK_STATE_READ_ONLY and ATSPI_STATE_READ_ONLY.

• Piñeiro removed the management of the state ATK_STATE_SELECTABLE from AtkObject, each custom implementation should take care of their states. Will be available on next ATK release. Gtk regressions in relation with that state are possible.

• Piñeiro did that during webkitgtk hackfest, in order to solve a bug where that state was wrongly set.

Action Items

• Joanie will be sure jhbuild is modified accordingly for accerciser (if not already done)
• Piñeiro will ping the design team about keyboard shortcuts to toggle Orca

Ongoing / Rolled-Over

• Team members:
  • Do their Q3s

  • Look over Juanjo's draft about how to improve accessibility by promoting a11y to developers and designers.

• Joanie
  • Draft the final Q2 report for the team and get Piñeiro's review.
  • Do a full evaluation of the accessibility breakage in Evolution 3.6 and file bugs accordingly.
• Juanjo:
  • Take a look at the current a11y material in order to make an action plan.
• Piñeiro:
  • Create some usability-configurability related bugs, using Bryen's mail as a starting point
  • Investigate that "Enable by Keyboard" thing.

  • Update the AtkObject:children-changed documentation, as this could be also used on ATK implementors.
