Need your help: new modules being proposed for GNOME 2.30

[Willie Walker]

Hi All:

I need your help evaluating new modules for accessibility.

At http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentynine/ExternalDependencies and
http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentynine/Desktop you'll find a list of
modules being proposed for inclusion into GNOME 2.30.  Some of these
modules may have user interface components to them that may affect
accessibility.

The list of modules includes:

External dependencies: gmime, vala, Memphis (for libchamplain), libdb
(already approved).

Desktop: clutter-core, couch-db&evolution-couchdb, dconf,
gnome-packagekit, nautilus-actions, nautilus-sendto, tracker,
globalmenu, emerillon (withdrawn already by maintainer)

The GNOME release team is meeting at this point to discuss these
modules, and the module freeze (i.e., when new modules will be chosen or
rejected) is November 9th.

So, for those of you able to do so, please take a look at the modules
and send me feedback about any concerns regarding accessibility.

Thanks!

Will

Memphis is quite unaccessible.  It generates an opaque image from
OpenStreetMap data.  This image is then displayed by libchamplain.

But there is hope, now that we have OpenStreetMap data locally, we can
start (planned for later versions) providing feed back information about
what is under the mouse at (x,y), for example a street named "Boulevard
Saint-Laurent".

Hope that is insightful,

Pierre-Luc
