hi all.
I'm writing in to let everyone on the desktop list know that I'm
intending to work with anyone here and with the gnome people to fix
all remaining accessibility issues for gnome 3.18. This currently
includes, unlabeled controlls, buttons and links, in various gnome
control center modules. Duplicate controlls in the power settings
module, duplicate buttons in gnome tweak tool. Gdm is inaccessible to
orca. Orca is unable to see the login screen so cannot navigate it's
controlls. This last one is exclusive to gnome 3.16, gnome 3.14 works
just fine. I plan to have all these issues ironed out in time for
gnome 3.18 and f23. I will file bugs, provide logs, anything that is
necessary. My plan is that by f23, there will be 0 (zero)
accessibility issues with orca and gnome shell. I would like to make
one possible request, not sure where this is applicable. Would it be
possible, as a temporary measure, to cause gdm to fall back to using x
for it's login screen when accessibility is enabled? I have no idea
how this can be done, but this would allow orca to again see the
screen and navigate it, until whatever is wrong in wayland can be
fixed up stream? If there are any people who work on gnome itself,
would you mind logging on to #fedora-accessibility, or I can log on to
#a11y on gnome's server to discuss issues? I don't want to flood the
list with accessibility traphic.
Thanks
