The GNOME team set up a wiki page for 11.0 ideas. One of the requests is for accessibility options to be available in the YaST installer, in particular:
* Screen magnifier - shows a magnified version of the portion of the screen you're pointing at.
* Screen reader - reads the labels and input text out loud.
* Braille output - provides tactile display of labels and input text via a special device.
In GNOME, we use Orca to accomplish this, together with the at-spi infrastructure. It is a Python app. I don't know what Qt/KDE uses, but I imagine something similar.
So I have some questions for the YaST/installer guys:
* What accessibility technologies are available in the installer today, and how are they configured?
AFAIK, we have support for visually impaired people: - linuxrc can be run in linemode to allow screen readers - yast2 ncurses interface has high contrast color scheme available - there is support for braille peripherials
* If we're missing accessibility functionality, how feasible would it be to implement it for 11.0?
Depends on the technology. One constraint I see right away is the size of of inst-sys, we would need to do some magic there to keep it reasonably sized. First, we would need to know exactly what we want to support. The 3 points above? Stano
* Given that the installer is a Qt app, what technologies could we use?
