Work ITEMS:
[themuso] make at-spi2 install and starts correctly (missing dependencies): DONE
[themuso] check whether scim & ibus are both required to support onboard: DONE
[themuso] Implement textual description of launcher icon state/status for use with Orca: DONE
Work items for ubuntu-11.10:
[themuso] Set unity-2d to be the default for a11y profiles: DONE
Meeting notes:
* Progress made during Natty. Still more to be done
* Rough edges in keyboard navigation
* Quicklistk can be navigated but not spoken by Orca
[UndiFineD] configurable Keyboard shortcuts for all items (buttons) ?
* Alt+Tab: Window switch not working
* Theeming:
- High contrast supported
* Hard target: Unity must have accessibility in Oneiric
* Unity 2D
- Need guidance for what is missing
- Will use Qt 4.7
* Feedback on a11y came very late in Natty. How to leverage the accessibility community?
- Manually testing is difficult for the community.
- What skills are needed? (the personas not describe skills needed to test, only why it is needed)
-
* Virtual Box working with a11y
* Unit testing
- Action: test plan with Luc
- Accessibility for regression testing (QA team?)
* Switching to at-spi 2
* Session migration
* Upgrade from Gnome Panel to Unity?
OSK topic
- what to do
- when to target
Note for U-2D: reuse same property names and check whether signals are the same, ie if the test suite can be shared between 2D and 3D
