Hi, all, It's hot off the presses, folks. I want to try this real bad. Unfortunately, work has heated up for me considerably of late making it impossible for me to do anything fun like tinkering with Linux for a while. *sigh* So ... whoever wants to ... Now's your chance!

Unity 2D Accessibility, Testers Welcome (Frederik Gladhorn) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 11:33:19 +0200 From: Frederik Gladhorn <gladh...@kde.org> Subject: [Kde-accessibility] Unity 2D Accessibility, Testers Welcome To: kde-accessibil...@kde.org Cc: ext Florian Boucault <florian.bouca...@canonical.com>, didier Roche <didier.ro...@canonical.com> Message-ID: <201106301133.19234.gladh...@kde.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-15" Hi, lately Florian and Didier did some nice work to get the patches needed for a working Qt at-spi2 accessibility ready for Ubuntu. It's also exciting since they are making Unity-Qt accessible - yes that is the first QML app that tests our changes for Qt. While I personally don't care which distro anyone runs, right now this is a nice chance to test accessibility with KDE apps without any hastle. So if you're interested to find out where we stand, check it out :) With the setup described below you should be up and running in no time. Cheers Frederik PS: If anyone else want to manually get this up and running: My recommendation is at the moment to grab Qt 4.8 master and the bridge from gitorious. https://gitorious.org/qt-at-spi https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/accessibility contains the changes needed for QML (branch 4.8-a11y) if you want to play with that.
