Hello, all. RMLL2010 was useful for GRUB project too. On one hand it allowed me to give a speech about it and on the other hand it has brought new ideas. In particular with Samuel Thibault we discussed accessibility. Mainstream color defaults are black and white which gives good contrast and no problems for colorblind people. If distribution changes these defaults they have to ensure that their defaults Next step is to help people having either vision or motor problems. @Samuel: whcih options can we propose for people which aren't blind but have vision problems? It's already possible to load bigger fonts. Now I'm working on braille support. I already coded 40x1 menu selector and menuentry editor. For 40x1 console I need to add scrolling first. it's in branches/a11y I also coded FTDI and PL3203 usbserial drivers. It's in branches/usb. Now we need the braille drivers to go in-between. I thought of importing Linux braille drivers since they seem to be under GPLv2+. I hope that I CC the right list for it. My plan is to have an import similar to what we have with libgcrypt: we copy the patches verbatim and try to emulate the environment similar to native one. If any preprocessing is needed we have 2 directories: one with files as they are imported and another with the files to compile. The second one is generated from the first one with python script at autogen phase. This way we avoid forking and can easily resync What do you think?
