There are other needed stuff to be done before starting such a channel. Opensuse needs support from developers who are able to understand and solve a11y related bugs. This is the most anoying problem currently. Read my firefox bug http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508611#c8
The biggest problem, from my viewpoint, has been a lack of coordination. Are there people in Novell who work on a11y and understand it? Yes. Stephen himself works on an a11y team in Provo. When I first got involved with the community nearly 2 years ago and focused on a11y, my biggest problem was that it took many many months to figure out who was involved in a11y. I mean MANY months. And I'm still even today, unsure if I have figured out who everyone is. As a matter of fact, Stephen and I stumbled across each other during an IRC conversation when for a few weeks prior, neither of us knew about the other's interest in a11y. So that's where Stephen's initiative comes from. Also we have created http://en.opensuse.org/Accessibility a while back, which needs some love to get up to date again. -- Bryen Yunashko openSUSE Board Member GNOME-A11y Team Member www.bryen.com (Personal Blog) www.planet-a11y.net (Feed aggregator of the Accessibility Community) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
