[yast-devel] sw_single Acccessibility Category
We're working on figuring out what all the accessibility tools software already exists. For now, we're looking at gnome.org's accessibility documentation and then running searches in sw_single to determine whether we have it already. But some tools listed in their documentation is named differently on our end. For example: gnome-online-keyboard in the documentation is gok in our repository. We think it would be well worth it if an accessibility category could be added so users could easily narrow down what tools are available for download/already-installed. Would it be feasible to add such a category? I would be more than happy to compile a list over the next few months of such tools so we can populate the category.

I think you're talking about a Pattern. And yes, we can easily add one for accessibility. Just collect the packages needed and file a bug report against component Patterns. If you can, both for KDE and GNOME. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org

I've just forwarded that mail to opensuse-packaging mailing-list because I thought RPM groups were what Bryen wanted to extend. Patterns might be even better, however RPM groups can help too :) Bye Lukas

Wow, another mailing list to keep track of. :-) Thanks for forwarding it to more appropriate groups. It is much appreciated. I'll monitor the archives for a bit and see if I need to join in and answer any questions. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org

Personally, I always look for software in categories. I rarely go to patterns. Maybe your suggestion of going with patterns is a better idea. I don't know. In any case, I appreciate your suggestions and will open a bug soon and start adding to the list.
