Re: Fwd: Reminder: FOSDEM CrossDesktop DevRoom 2013 - Call for Talks

Christophe: If CrossDesktop DevRoom is THE place for cross-desktop entente, then why have I seen no discussion about this event on any FreeDesktop mail forum? I only notice GNOME mailing lists in the current cc:list, or am I missing something? What FreeDesktop forum is even supposed to be used

Matthias: I would argue that if all the widgets dealing with text really have the same needs, they should really support the same interface in GTK+, and there should be no need to write n adaptors for widget-with-text to atktext, but instead just one for text-widget-interface to atktext. And id

Benjamin: A main reason that there are multiple sets of interfaces is to make the free desktop accessibility interfaces widget-set neutral. A huge amount of effort has been invested over the years to make GNOME and KDE accessibility interoperable. By making both GNOME and KDE talk to the ATK i

Alberto: That's actually a good point. The idea is that we will bring people from other toolkits to have a few "feedback days/sessions" and then concentrate our work taking their input into account. Adding a11y to the agenda makes a lot of sense to me. However, any of the people willing to atte

Alberto: I give a +1, but I think there should be another goal. To invest some attention to the accessibility themes, like HighContrast and perhaps helping to develop an effort to resolve the issues there. How can we take things to the next level for a11y? Also the ability to run the computer

Jonathan: I think this is a great plan, and will do much to benefit GNOME's ISV story. I notice that the Project Ridley page doesn't make any mention of a11y. Obviously moving/renaming widgets from libraries like libegg and libgnome* will affect libgail, which I think should be considered part
