3.12 Updates

• Wayland is still the main item.
• Threads have been somewhat quiet.
• ACTION: Piñeiro will ping the different threads open.
• Last week Piñeiro has been talking with mousetweak developers, on a thread started with Magdalen.
• They are also having some problems using wayland directly as wayland doesn't allow access to some features.
• In the same way, they are removing some of the code that used X in order to use at-spi2.
• So that means that right now, some mousetweaks features will work if at-spi2 gets the proper porting.
• We will also keep mousetweak developers on the loop.
• There have been discussions about whether to implement mousetweaks in gnome-shell.
• There was a concern that other desktops would not be able to use it if that happens.
• The rest of the 3.12 items are more or less in the same status
• Still waiting for a formal proposal from mike gorse about async API for at-spi2.

W3C Updates

• The 48 hour call-for-consensus for publishing the last call working draft of the ARIA UAIG document went out yesterday.

• http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2013Oct/0142.html

• So far, there have been nothing but postitive votes.
• Likely that after the 48 hour period is over, the document will be published as a last call draft by Mon.
• ACTION: Joseph will email the a11y interest list when the UIAG document is published as a last call draft.

• This table shows the status of the features that MUST be implemented in order to satisfy "proposed recommendation" status: https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/testharness/testreport?testsuite_id=2

Marketing

• Juanjo is working in improved content for ATK entry in the wikipedia.
• He has some holes in his understanding of ATK and AT-SPI.

Miscellaneous Time

• This week we have been discussing on IRC about pyatspi2 deprecation in favor of pure python gobject-introspected bindings, and also about atk and at-spi2 merge.
• Piñeiro sent a email summarizing all what involves that to -devel list

• https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-accessibility-devel/2013-October/msg00014.html

• After some discussion a wiki page will be created.
• Probably this task will be postponed after 3.12.

Action Items

• Joseph:
  • Email the a11y interest list when the UIAG document is published as a last call draft.
• Piñeiro:
  • Ping the different Wayland-related mailing list threads.

Ongoing / Rolled-Over

• Mike:
  • Propose more specific API for being asynchronous and email the list.
• Joanie:
  • Test Benjamin's work-in-progress focus-related deprecation patch.
  • Review current bugs about API additions and create new ones, with 3.12 target in mind.
  • Review the first public draft of ARIA 1.1 with specific attention to our current API.
  • Do some testing and update the Evolution a11y bugs.
• Juanjo:
  • Take a look at the current a11y material in order to make an action plan.
• Piñeiro:
  • Send a email explaining his proposal about gnome-shell under wayland, and asking for suggestions.
  • gnome-shell not accessible on wayland. Hacky solution available. Proper solution needed.
  • Look at tooltip related code to see the possibility of adding mouse-in, mouse-out event at the a11y toolkit.
  • Check with gtk and clutter developers to see what the plans are with respect to pango.
  • Ping Benjamin in order to know how much can be done on gtk+2
  • Compose a "what accessibility needs from Wayland, how to use it" email, ask for review, send to the Wayland Developer's list.
    • I think that mclasen already sent this: ask joanie if this ai can be closed
