Ditto the detail view.
There are also significant platform issues: on Mac, the native widgets
don't accept focus (at least, by default: there seems to be a
system-wide preference about this, but I haven't tried turning it on to
see whether wx supports it).

The first one is keyboard access. Everything in the application should

but there are a fair number of bugs on our way. There are also issues in
wxWidgets, but those are out of the scope for 0.6.
wait, as I understood it, complete keyboard access is NOT a goal for
0.6. We punted a lot of calendar bugs based on that. Making the
calendar (a central part of the 0.6 release) keyboard accessible is a
big undertaking, something that is not accounted for in the 0.6
planning...

The second one is color usage. Do not rely on color only when conveying
information. It is ok to enhance information with color, of course.
Also, when picking colors, it is important to choose colors that work
well with people that have difficulties in differentiating between
different colors. Also, if possible, users should be able to choose
colors that suit them.
The third point is: no blinking. No blinking text, or flickering or
blinking images or animations. The UI should avoid these completely, but
we also need to have settings to sanitize content that comes in through
sharing and email for example. There need to be settings to disable
animations or disable images altogether. Blinking can cause serious
problems for certain people.
These guidelines are applicable for both desktop and web-based applications.
