GSoC Update

  • Joseph had an action to post the five issues regarding the focus/caret tracker to the accessibility development list. He did so: discussion thread

  • Joseph is rapdily converging on these conclusions:
    1. The tracker should not be a singleton, unless it's too costly to have multiple D-Bus registrations.
    2. It's still a question of where Atspi.init() should be called.
    3. Atspi event registration should happen in the constructor in the non-singleton case (see 1).
    4. The try/catch statements can be safely removed.
    5. There is no use case for distinguishing between 'object:state-changed:focus' and 'object:state-changed:select'.
  • Joseph has tried to keep up with Magdalen's work, but has found little time to do it this week.
  • But, he has at least responded to her emails.
  • Magdalen has updated the tracker.
  • Magdalen is working on the magnifier.

  • July 29 mentors and Magdalen can begin submitting mid-term evaluations.
  • The deadline to hand in the evaluations is 2nd Aug.

W3C Update

  • No news.
  • The goal to publish a last call draft of the ARIA User Agent Implemenation Guide by Jul 29 is still on the table.
  • Testing is somewhat of a hindrance, in that it feeds back into better woring of the Guide, and testing is not complete.
  • We'll see if the deadline can be met.
  • The deadline is to have all the edits to the guide committed by July 29 so that a last call draft can be published in August.
