Accessibility technical discussion at UDS P.
Hi folks, A blueprint has been created to discuss the technical accessibility work for Precise. Go here to subscribe and for more info. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-accessibility-polish I've already started populating the work items list, and this list is likely to be changed, and re-structured between now and when development starts after UDS. If you ahve anything you want discussed in the session, please add it to the notes section at the bottom of the whiteboard. THis session probably hasn't been scheduled yet, but whe it is, I will let you all know when and where, so that people can participate remotely.

Updates of at-spi2, mousetweaks, and Orca in oneiric-proposed, please help with testing.
Hey folks, So there are some more accessibility packages in oneiric-proposed that need testing. The bugs are as follows: 877817 - gnome-orca 877824 - mousetweaks 877840 - at-spi2-atk 877836 - at-spi2-core 877841 - pyatspi Similar to the instructions in the email about onboard the other day, please enable the oneiric-proposed repository, update the above packages, and test. These are GNOME stable updates, so we are not testing for any specific issues as such, but we want to make sure there are no regressions or other weird breakage, particularly with at-spi and Orca. The instructions can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed When testing at-spi, please post results in all 3 at-spi related bugs, as it would be preferable if all 3 packages went through into updates at once. Thanks for your time. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Oneirc queston
I upgraded my laptop using do-releas-upgrade (which is how I normally do this) and found unity totally inaccessible probably because it was in 3d. So I installed gnome which works but I would like to try unity and I have more computers to upgrade. So the question is how do I get it to start in unity 2d doing an upgrade ot a fresh install? Also is it possible without sighted help. My wife had to help me switch to gnome. As a side note orca does not start automatically in gnome as I have read it does not in unity either. Is there a solution for this (I have not read the entire archive)? Thanks Tom -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Some Unity related questions
Hy Everybody, Sorry, I will be have possible beginner questions for Unity related: In Unity 3D extended A11Y test version have a possibility to define application related groups, similar with GNOME2 and GNOME3 Fallback session already categorizing the awailable applications (accessories, accessibility, sound and video, internet, office, etc)? Sorry this question, but I better known the traditional GNOME desktop environment now, but I would like learning Unity usage detailed and customizing basic Unity knowledge with some extras my needs. I very like this categorized grouping in GNOME Desktop Environment, because if I installing any application and if the application related package creating a menu, the menu item is automaticaly awailable with the proper application related group in GNOME main menu. Already existing a lense with doing similar possibility in Unity automaticaly? Have a request from sighted users this traditional grouping related in Unity? Now, I put my favorite applications with the launcher with I often using, this is a very good possibility if need very fast launching an often using application, but the putted applications are all in one place without grouping. The quicklist creation is an another good possibility in Unity, I will be trying this possibility to create for example a text editors related quick list, with containing for example Gedit, Libreoffice Writer and Libreoffice Calc launching. Unfortunately, this quicklist will be not updating automaticaly if a new text editor related application are installed. Possible implementing a similar application grouping possibility in Unity with precise development if more users would like this possibility, and associate this grouping presenting menu with a keybinding? The purpose, if the user installing any application and the application have a desktop file in /usr/share/applications directory, automaticaly presenting the new application with the proper category. An another question: If an user installing any application related package, but doesn't known the application launch command, how can possible found and launch the new installed application in Unity? The user need searching the application the dash categoryes? I not see yet full clear the new interface working method.
