Hi Andre,

Should we add a new thing - accessibility? I suggest to evaluate or test
the sidebar's accessibility and do bug fix on the branch "ia2" after
finishing the IA2 migration.

Hi Steve,

We definitely have to take care of accessibility for the sidebar. I started to take care of two aspects, keyboard focus traveling and high contrast mode but both need more work. Regarding the support of the accessibility API I would gladly accept any help that you can offer. Most panels should have accessibility support. but I don't know if that has been properly migrated. The visible controls of the actual sidebar (tab bar, buttons, decks, panel containers) do not yet support the UAA but adding that should not be too hard. If have worked on accessibility support for Impress before and have some experience. But again, any help is appreciated.

Hi community,

the first phase of the sidebar development is complete.  The sidebar
is now feature complete, ie all panels that are planned for the 4.0
release are now available.

More importantly: we have just merged the sidebar branch into trunk.
That means that from now on, every build of trunk will contain the
sidebar.  It is active by default and ready for use.

The next phase will concentrate on two things:

- Improving usability and appearance.

- Finding and fixing bugs.


Everyone of you can help with both points: please try out the sidebar
and tell us about everything that does not work or that you don't
like.  If you find an error then please look at [1] to see if
something like this is already known.  If not, please write a new
issue for it.
For everything else we have this mailing list.

Best regards,
Andre
