| nigelb | AlanBell: Lovely email about unity :) | 10:43 |
|---|---|---|
| nigelb | Especially <3 the followup ;) | 10:43 |
| AlanBell | :) | 10:54 |
| AlanBell | it was a reasonable question that will come up a lot over this cycle I expect | 10:55 |
| AlanBell | we need to a) answer the question and b) defuse the hostility | 10:56 |
| UndiFineD | on the orca mailing list they were panicing about ubuntu gnome support "being dropped" | 11:13 |
| Pendulum | it's not being dropped! | 11:14 |
| Pendulum | especially not the accessibility support! | 11:14 |
| UndiFineD | I told them de cdimage package plans to integrate unity and gnome on the same disc | 11:14 |
| Pendulum | yes | 11:14 |
| Pendulum | because older machines can't handle Unity | 11:14 |
| Pendulum | and also it means for people who don't like unity, it'll be easy to switch back to gnome desktop | 11:14 |
| Pendulum | in fact, one thing we've discussed is that Gnome Shell will have the same issue and have to support both as well | 11:15 |
| AlanBell | morning Pendulum | 11:16 |
| Pendulum | AlanBell: so I'm meeting with Charline at noon local time. thought you'd want to know ;-) | 11:18 |
| AlanBell | great | 11:19 |

| UndiFineD | one nick change and 20 channels are lit | 11:22 |
| Pendulum | :) | 11:23 |
| Pendulum | AlanBell: did you ever get around to checking askubuntu.com using orca? | 12:06 |
| AlanBell | err no | 12:07 |
| AlanBell | I did restart with orca | 12:07 |
| AlanBell | and unity started up and I got all distracted by figuring that out | 12:07 |
| Pendulum | ah | 12:07 |
| Pendulum | any chance you could get to it before 21:15 BST? | 12:08 |
| AlanBell | TIMEOUT: something has hung. Aborting. | 12:10 |
| AlanBell | orca is not happy :( | 12:10 |
| Pendulum | in general or with askubuntu? | 12:10 |
| AlanBell | in general | 12:10 |
| Pendulum | unity? | 12:10 |
| AlanBell | not sure what is causing it, but I will try and get it running | 12:11 |
| AlanBell | however orca will work on the website I should think | 12:11 |
| AlanBell | the issue is whether they have done good keyboard navigation for the site | 12:11 |
| Pendulum | well it is javascript | 12:13 |
| AlanBell | http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/5207/stackoverflow-accessibility-with-screen-reading-software | 12:16 |
| AlanBell | http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/accessibility | 12:17 |
| AlanBell | so it seems there are users of the stack overflow sites who use screenreaders | 12:18 |
| Pendulum | yes, but not easily or well | 12:19 |
| AlanBell | it uses javascript to put things on the page, but once they are there it is just html | 12:19 |
| AlanBell | yes, seems they broke it for screenreaders and may or may not have fixed it by now | 12:20 |
| Pendulum | and there is the one about the major regression | 12:20 |
| Pendulum | yeah | 12:20 |
| AlanBell | http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/68898/how-accessible-are-the-stack-exchange-sites-for-users-of-screen-reader-software | 12:27 |
| UndiFineD | well, orca does not even read the question you have asked | 12:29 |
| UndiFineD | and then I got logged out suddenly | 12:32 |

| AlanBell | I am quite impressed by the deuteranopia compiz filter | 18:40 |
| AlanBell | there are some things like my irssi setup where channel names just dissappear for the colour blind | 18:40 |
| UndiFineD | that can be a good thing | 18:57 |
