I am working on the Junior Jobs sprint which involves using KDE's Krazy infrastructure to automatically publish defects detected by OBS to be fixed by low-hanging-fruit. However I don't think 'fixed 5700 broken .desktop files' would qualify as a senior year academic project.
What I would like to suggest, spurred on by Stephen Shaw and Bryen, is that we propose an openSUSE a11y project to help complete and test the Qt AT-SPI2 bridge and its integration with a11y tools. This would also contribute cross- desktop to the robustness of the incomplete at-spi2 technologies and the existing Orca and GOK tools. Since at-spi2 is still under development according to Stephen, this would be a good time-frame for a student-project preview of the work in 11.4 and have something complete in the release after that.
Sounds very good. Any idea who could mentor him, and hopefully visit Canada?
I'd like it if Jeremy Whiting would take on mentoring, but it might be too short notice for him. I've asked him to think about it, he's keen for the help with the project in any case. -- Will Stephenson, openSUSE Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH - Nürnberg - AG Nürnberg - HRB 16746 - GF: Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help@opensuse.org
