Re: Ideas for upcoming Bolzano GTK+ hackfest

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Thanks for the heads up, Brian!

I have a few things that would be great to get a handle on:

1) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=535827 - the current 
solution of using environment variables is deemed distasteful by some, 
but nobody has been able to offer a better solution.  Hackers might try 
to look at this one hard.

2) AT-SPI/D-Bus - the funding deadline is coming up in mid-March.  We 
need people to take a look at this work and evaluate where it is at and 
what it will take to move it forward.  My end goal here is that an 
assistive technology such as Orca can provide access to both GNOME and 
KDE apps.

3) Evince a11y - Behdad might be working on getting something going with 
this, but any effort scoping out the problem would be great.  The end 
goal here is provide decent access to PDF documents.

4) WebKit a11y - while not GNOME per se, it would be great to take a 
look at where they are and try to connect with any WebKit folks that 
might be there.  The end goal here is to make sure WebKit is accessible 
and/or at least get the WebKit developers on the path to accessibility.
