Notes about packaging
- pkg-a11y project on alioth, we usually use git repositories.
- speakup: speakup_decpc is not free, that's why we use a dfsg branch. To release a newer upstream version, pull the upstream branch from the dfsg branch, then pull the dfsg branch from the debian branch, then run git-buildpackage --git-tag --git-upstream-branch=dfsg
- liblouis*: import tarballs to the upstream-import branch (git-import-orig file.tar.gz --upstream-branch=upstream-import), then pull into the upstream branch and discard the conflicts in generated files which we do not ship in the .orig.tar.gz
TODO
Packaging
Package nfbtrans, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-accessibility/2008/05/msg00043.html http://www.nfb.org/nfb/nfbtrans.asp
- Hook braille translators into cups
- Package speechd-up, being done by JP Mengual
Package Anumaan http://www.cdacmumbai.in/index.php/cdacmumbai/research_and_publications/research_groups/open_source_soft_division/projects/anumaan
- Package eviacam (Cesar Mauri is working on it)
- Add a tasksel element. It doesn't seem so simple, we'd need subtasks. Maybe a complete package that asks precise questions.
- Help Mario with the packages he requested help for.
- See how to write a win32-loader frontend to easily configure a11y parameters
See mono's UI Automation/ATK accessibility bridge http://www.mono-project.com/Accessibility
- upgrade edbrowse
afaik a11y support for mono is packaged, is there more to package / update or is testing still needed for this?
brailleblaster http://www.brailleblaster.org/
What is the status of this? the web page claims the repo is at https://googlecode.com/hg/ but that's an empty hg repo. Is developement happening somewhere else?
- odt2braille and odt2daisy, needs liblouisxml 2.3.0, or maybe libutdml is enough.
dae ftp://ftp.csir.co.za/MI/National_Accessibility_Portal/wvdwalt/dae-latest.tar.bz2
- magnifier magnifier.sourceforge.net (was waiting for lazarus 0.9.29, now available)
Installation
More generic details on http://brl.thefreecat.org/wiki/Installer
- Tune accessibility support in the liveCD.
- Add brltty/speakup parameters preseed support?
- Create a webpage that generates preseed files according to the hardware selected by the user in a form.
- Another way is putting parameters in the iso itself:
- Add AT-SPI and Orca/gok to debian installer (FJP would shout for the required disk space), maybe rather simply add orca/etc. to the liveCD?
Documentation
Add an accessibility section to http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Guidelines
- Add an accessibility chapter to the developer's reference
- Add accessibility questions to the NM process.
Misc
- Add package tags: something like accessible-with::{at-spi,tty-screen-reader}, accessible-with::{braille,speech}, accessible-with::{gnome-orca,brltty,speakup}
- Add an accessibility tag to bugs (and thus cc-ed to debian-accessibility)
- Make accessibility bugs RC, or at least consider them with care during freeze?
