Hi, I'm a blind
software engineer and most of my experience concentrates on Linux and
unix.
Recently, an
organization here in Israel offers support for people who are willing to
contribute to the opensource community,
either by developing
a new project or contributing to an ongoing one.
while the textual
command line Linux is accessable, the gui linux is much less and needs
improving.
I thought to invest
on this area and contribute to improve the gui accessibility so that users may
have full access to openoffice, firefox and any other gui based
bpplication.
I did not keep track
after this area during a year, but it ssems not much has changed since
then.
Am I correct in this
or somebody has other news for me?
Yes, I know
gnopernicus and I even tried it for a very little while with my Vario braille
display with no much success
concluding that
Gnopernicus has way to go.
and, if indeed I'll
decide to take sucha project under my responsability,
I thought to
concentrate on Gnopernicus and further develop it.
I don't want to
"invent the wheel" so my questions to the list are as
follows:
1. Is there any
on-going development on Gnopernicus or is it quite a stuck
project?
2. Are there other
software and developments in this area currently?
3. Does the route of
developing Gnopernicus is a correct idea, or would you suggest other
ideas?
4. Gnopernicus is
part of Gnome. Is there something also for kde?
This is for me a
kind of research and "sniffing" of this area before I decide to jump into
it.
Any feedback and
idea will be most appreciated.
Thank you all in
advance, Rafi.
