• Log

Progress Towards 3.12

• Piñeiro is writing an email about some API changes needed on ATK in order to support better more that one toolkit.

• This is needed because right now, gnome-shell is not accessible under wayland, because gtk AtkUtil implementation is overriding clutter AtkUtil implementation.

• Additionally, Piñeiro has been working on some AtkDocument stuff and implementing it on evince, as part of improving accessibility of pdf documents.

• Poppler patches are also being reviewed/approved these days, so poppler master has a better tagged-pdf support.

• In the same way, as Piñeiro is in writing-email mode today, he will send a ping to the wayland+accessibiilty thread probably suggesting about moving some of the current bugs to wayland, gnome-shell or <relevant-component> bugzilla.

• Joanie is still working on the focus: deprecation stuff.
• Joanie is also investigating various and sundry Firefox 25 accessibility regressions. :-/
• Piñeiro also replied to the email that Mike sent about the new at-spi2 API, specifically about events with more info, and some async API.
• Mike has done some work on an async api and emailed g-a-devel (to which Piñeiro just alluded)
• The gnome-shell project has added a new component for tracking the magnfier.
• All gs-mag bugs have been moved to this new component ("component" in the sense of a bugzilla component).

W3C Updates

• The ARIA working group received comments on the UAIG last call draft from the gnome-a11y community.
• A small sub-group worked on responsese to those comments.
• Those responses have been pushed to the full group requesting group consensus.
• In addition, we are trying to find a compromise to somehow include the requested changes given W3C protocol.
• All this is intended to be wrapped up by end of day Friday (tommorrow).
• Igalia has become a W3C member recently, one of the reasons behind, is stuff like this "lets collaborate for accessibility"

Marketing Updates

• Following Jon W. McCann's request, Juanjo's been moving content from: https://projects.gnome.org/accessibility/ and https://projects.gnome.org/orca/ to https://wiki.gnome.org/Accessibility/ and https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca respectively.

Miscellaneous Time

• There is a WebKitGtk hackfest this week at Igalia.

• One target area is accessibility.

Action Items

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:
  • Ping the different Wayland-related mailing list threads.
  • 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.
