Hi Mario. This is exciting news!

Indeed. In addition, I agree with Samuel: Ideally this is something that would also go in the standard flavor of all distributions; not just the a11y flavors. That way any user could walk up to any system and use it. Would it make sense to coordinate this effort with the work being done on the New Universal Access Preferences UI? [1] I don't know if what they're planning on implementing will match the answers to these questions: > 1. How should the environment be at startup in order to be the most > inclusive? > 2. How should be enabled/disabled the different options? by > keystrokes? by mouse movements? by voice orders? > 3. How should be the user informed of the different options? audio? > audio+text? But if consensus can be reached, that would give you an upstream home (i.e. the gnome-control-center) for at least some of the planned work. > 4. Anything else you think is important to include That depends. :-) Will the a11y edition coming out in November ship with gnome-shell? If so, then gnome-shell theming might be something worth taking a look at. The current theme happens to work marvelously for me personally because I'm light-sensitive. It might not be the best choice for all users, however. I'll let Alejandro Piñeiro comment further on this issue as he sees fit. Thanks for asking, and thanks again for all your support! --joanie [1] http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/GNOME3#New_Universal_Access_Preferences_UI _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
