GtkOverlay, GtkLevelBar, and egg-list-box

  • Matthias Clasen has pinged recently about some new gtk widgets GtkOverlay and GtkLevelBar.

  • Their accessibility status is unknown at the moment.
  • Ror GtkOverlay Gtk includes a demo, he was not sure about GtkLevelBar.

  • He asked if our team could do a review, at least a quick "this is not working/this is working" review.
  • He also pointed out a bug related to the lack of accessibility for egg-list-box, that seems that it is used on some modules.
  • On the bug is also pointed that egg-list-box is just a subclass of a gtkwidget with proper a11y support.
  • ACTION: Joanie will finish setting up her jhbuild environment and test those new widgets.
  • ACTION: Mike will commit a patch to add ATK_ROLE_LEVEL_BAR and make a similar patch for AT-SPI2.
  • ACTION: Joanie will add that support into Orca.
  • At some point, we should make time to be sure for every accessible widget, there is a Gtk3 demo for it.

Clutter-GTK

  • Matthias also asked about the clutter-gtk situation.
  • Piñeiro was busy with other different tasks these days.
  • Joanie asked him for a list of apps using it, and it seems that it is far longer that we expected.
  • ACTION: Piñeiro will try to look to clutter-gtk.

Other GNOME 3.8 Updates

  • Matthias recently sent a mail to desktop-devel-list

  • It is basically a "in just three weeks stuff will start to be declared frozen. It would be good to review the status of everything new and features."
  • Right now there are about 70 bugs marked as gnome_target=3.8.
  • In relation with previous clutter-gtk comments, we need to take that into account.

W3C Update

  • (None as Joseph was not present)

Marketing

Miscellaneous Time

  • FOSDEM is this weekend.
  • Piñeiro will have a presentation, and possibly, a release-team meeting there. Possibly because not all the release team will be there, so probably it will be just a meeting with some to talk about stuff, so a release-team "meeting".

Action Items

  • Joanie:
    • Finish setting up her jhbuild environment and test the new Gtk widgets.
    • Add that support into Orca.
