GNOME accessibility in the Web

[Juanjo Marín <juanjomarin96 yahoo es>]

Hi !


Most of the information about accessibility in the GNOME website is from the GNOME 2.x days. I think is time to change this and show to the world what GNOME 3 is delivering in terms of accessibility. 

AFAIK, the main sources of information are:

1) GNOME accessibility project
   http://projects.gnome.org/accessibility/

2) Orca project
   http://projects.gnome.org/orca/

3) GNOME accessibility wiki
   http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility

4) Orca wiki
   https://live.gnome.org/Orca 

My perception is that these pages are entry points for people who want to learn or are curious about GNOME accessibility. Meanwhile the project pages try to offer a more "professional" look, the wiki pages are more community oriented. They have links to other pages with information:

* GNOME Desktop Accessibility Guide
http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/stable/
This is basically a GNOME 2 user´s manual, so there are many items that don´t fit the GNOME 3 desktop, unless you use the fallback mode.


* GNOME Accessibility Developers Guide
http://developer.gnome.org/accessibility-devel-guide/stable/
Though it is a very basic introductory text, it seems outdated because it doesn´t reflect the lastest changes in the GNOME accessibility stack. This particularly noticiable in several sections of the first part, though in the second part some old  applications like gok are mentioned.

* GNOME Accessibility Roadmap
https://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/Roadmap
Though it is a good working tool for the accessibility team, I think it isn't very useful to other people . I think it could be better if we can offer some information about the development of the roadmap ( what it has been done, etc). 

* Screencasts
http://projects.gnome.org/accessibility/screencasts.html
A good collection of GNOME 2 screencasts.

* Articles and presentations
http://projects.gnome.org/accessibility/talks/talks.html
All of them are pre-GNOME 3

* Orca FAQ
https://live.gnome.org/Orca/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
It is outdated and the call for help didn´t work very well. Maybe it is better to send a few questions to the orca list every week in order to get it updated.

I miss something important?


And more questions:

So what we should do with all this outdated information ?.  


Should we update everything ? Which are the priorities ?  How can we do it ? How can we make this sustainable ?


Well. this is (I hope) the first email about how we can deal this :-)


Cheers,
