Proposal:
Add an Accessibility category to Bugzilla
Accessibility bugs should be treated as major bugs, even issues that may appear small or minor to non handicapped users may have a profound effect on users that depend on a11y technology. It is preferable that accessibility fixes get released as updates in the current distribution. We do not have a dedicated team to address a11y bugs, thus the regular development teams and package maintainers are responsible for fixing a11y issues, just as they are today. However, these bugs will likely have a higher priority assignment than they have today.
Immediate thought - this is almost entirely symbolic as it will not cause any change in the way bugs are handled.
There is a symbolic "value" to this correct. However as a11y bugs would always be at least "Major" it should have an impact on how these bugs are treated. Secondly having a category makes it obvious for those filing the bugs where they belong.
Why should they be "Major" by default? We have definitions on what the severity means and I strongly object to make any category by default Major. Let's stick to the definitions we have and not change them for one category, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj@{suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer,HRB16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
