Howdy,
sometimes reinventing the wheel isn't making something new but a shift
of current paradigms,
Hm sounds interesting. I m curious what paradigm you want to shift? what
do you want to change? what ideas do you have here? how can i "imagine" it?
I put Colord in a tray, it could answer some apps design issues but
for the custom desktop I plan to build, it will be useless by default.
Huh? i don't have it in tray (lol in fact in the new gnome there isn't a
tray-bar anymore lol), but i use colord for years to have night-shift or
red-shift ( reduce blue color and make stuff more "red" in the evening).
that's good the eyes and better sleeping. But i never see any design
issues or i didn't recognize lol (using default gnome, mixed with non
GTK applications like steam, a lot of different games, Krita and blender
for my 3d Printing). But maybe the result can vary on hardware, window
manager or stuff, i don't know what is going up under the hood there. I
m just a user of this IMO nice peace of software :). Since gnome 3.24
night-shift is implement by default ( i assume that they are also going
to use colord, would sound logical to me).
For Sonar/Vinux, I was behind the scene for a while, I jumped in when
they a merge or a collaboration between the two was put public but I
leave it be, I can't give out straight my ideas and they don't catch
that I may have ideas to fix all this mess once and for all, just
found how I could achieve my path so I may try soon.(either live-build
or refracta)
I wonder if the ideas are not "just" a new set of packages that could be
(pre)installed with another spin of those distros? maintaining an own
distribution costs a lot of time. In the end its your idea i don't want
to change your opinion or don't want to say that the idea is a bad one.
I just see that there is a loss of potential if 3 or 4 guys are doing
the same but for some political or paradigm reasons not with each other
but alone. its like making three pizzas with different topping. start
making pastry three times from scratch instead of making a big clump and
everyone can just place its own topping.
Your ideas are noted, I may have a trick in my sleeve to implement one
later quite easily.
Cool :).

Howdy Mike,
I'm conceiving a Linux distribution with accessibility
Awsome :) idea! But I wonder if it is not more efficient to join the
vinux or sonar team and increase their manpower and implement missing
features insteed of reainvent the wheel over and over?
Sonar (it seems the offical site is down currently):
https://sourceforge.net/projects/sonargnulinux/
vinux:
http://vinuxproject.org/
designing a colorblind/impaired accessible
interface with nice aesthetics
does this mean that you want to create your own Destkop environment?
About colorblind, maybe you are interested in colord. its an color
management serverice using ICC profiles. maybe its useful to make
red/green or grayscale ICC profiles using your desktop (and would have
the nice side effect thats also useable on other desktops as well).
Just an idea.
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/colord/
I’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them. :)
Maybe an stand alone Magnification tool would be awsome :). I also
remember that there was also a need to have a tool for "hands free"
desktop control for people with motoric problems using at-spi, eye
tracking and voice control (in fact there is nothing useful
currently). I wanted to start working on last one but could not find
the time currently, but its still on my Todo list (like too many other
things lol).

Zitat von Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx>:
Hello everybody out there using Linux –
I'm conceiving a Linux distribution with accessibility and some
assistive technology, designing a colorblind/impaired accessible
interface with nice aesthetics, I did a few tests and it ended just as
expected, this alone may bring Linux to beat Mac os X on accessibility
side,
It will be on top of Debian with apt-pinning for development purposes,
the 3 branches and the packages locking feature, will be used to allow
developpers to easily replicate bugs to fix them, allowing a
pseudo-versionning system at the same time, used the setup a while,
overall it was a breeze.
My next aim would be to trim the system, hoping to be able to use a
window manager or a light desktop manager with accessibility tools,
accessibility reports of desktop environments, window managers and
softwares would be useful.
At this point, I could slowly make a working setup, the issue is to
create the iso with a decent installer, name/logo/design is thinked
yet, so I mostly lack a coder and a graphist, otherwise it goes way
above what I expected for now.
I also have a load of ideas I could implement later but understand
that the Debian focus don't mean it will be locked to it.
I’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them. :)
Mike
Note : Didn't knew the rules for linking the project or contact
informations so I didn't put anything to identify it and myself for
now ...
