GNOME 2.28 Press Release - Quotes Needed

[Paul Cutler-3]

I'm going to blog about this as well, but for the GNOME 2.28 release there was an idea to get quotes from developers to be included.  (I think it was Stormy's idea).

I need help with whom we should be asking for quotes from.  Applications with updates featured in the release notes include gnome-bluetooth (Bastien), Empathy, Epiphany, Evince, Cheese and gnome-volume-manager (Bastien again).

Anyone know the right developers to ping?

I'm also going to blog this.

Thanks.

Paul

I would ask John Wendell (jwendell@...) about empathy-vino-vinagre
integration together with an Empathy hacker, the reason being that this
would help raise awareness that we are global and not only
northern-hemisphere based :-).

Cheese got a new contributor during this cycle iirc, Daniel (cc) should
know.

Epiphany wasn't really end-user exciting imho, we only switched backends
and tried to not break much in the process. But Xan (cc) can perhaps say
something about how good progress in a11y was made working with Joan
Marie.

That's some ideas :-)

Hi All:

I've  been purposely quiet on the accessibility front.  GNOME 2.28 saw
some good solid changes for accessibility, but our big change is going
to happen with GNOME 3.0 and the removal of CORBA.  For GNOME 3.0, I'd
also like to try to roll in some of the HFOSS work that was done this
past summer.

I think a comment about WebKit accessibility for GNOME 2.28 would be
great, but we also need to be sure that Xan and Igalia are committed to
seeing the effort through.  That is, a lot of good was done, but a fair
amount of work remains.  So, GNOME 3.0 again may be the place where we
can really announce that WebKit a11y is for real.
