| AlanBell | hi all | 17:48 |
| AlanBell | any comments on this design from an accessibility point of view? http://libertus.co.uk:8080 | 17:48 |
| AlanBell | have already been through some things like high contrast body text and fluid width that allows a wide range of font size changes | 17:49 |
| charlie-tca | AlanBell: I must be having a bad day. It all seems to work good here | 17:54 |
| UndiFineD | AlanBell: I have to zoom -- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7607669/accessibility/Screenshot.png | 17:55 |
| AlanBell | charlie-tca: you have seen it before, there are changes in the commit logs from your feedback, it is just soon going live so they have asked for further feedback | 18:00 |
| AlanBell | UndiFineD: sure, that looks fine to me | 18:00 |
| charlie-tca | AlanBell: glad that one is working so well. It is almost impossible now to navigate and read http://www.ubuntulinux.org | 18:13 |
| charlie-tca | with the new theme in there | 18:13 |
| charlie-tca | apparently, that website theme just gets worse | 18:16 |
| AlanBell | yeah | 18:16 |
| codo | charlie-tca: yes. | 18:16 |
| codo | charlie-tca: I dont like that theme :) | 18:16 |
| AlanBell | I want to do an even more accessible moin theme | 18:16 |
| AlanBell | starting with http://moinmo.in/ThemeMarket/SimpleMente and adding Ubuntu branding | 18:16 |
| AlanBell | If I can get agreement that such a thing would be allowed on the main Ubuntu wiki | 18:16 |
| AlanBell | which I am struggling with | 18:17 |
| charlie-tca | At least you no longer have to think about zooming it. The words that are missing won't be there anyway | 18:17 |
| codo | the present wiki theme is just ugly | 18:17 |
| charlie-tca | +1 | 18:17 |
| AlanBell | codo: I have merge requests that would un-break lots of it | 18:17 |
| charlie-tca | codo: maybe you and AlanBell can do something there... :-) | 18:17 |
| charlie-tca | codo: you are a c++ coder? | 18:17 |
| AlanBell | it is a non-technical problem | 18:18 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, but I was thinking festival could use help | 18:18 |
| codo | charlie-tca: I do C but I can understand C++ | 18:18 |
| codo | AlanBell: and charlie-tca I will need to go around how to hack them etc :) | 18:19 |
| charlie-tca | Oh, I don't think that is quite the same | 18:19 |
| codo | but ys since it is non technical problem it should be easy :) | 18:19 |
| codo | *yes | 18:19 |
| AlanBell | hah, no! | 18:19 |
| charlie-tca | But the festival project is done by a university, and bug fixes are hard to come by | 18:19 |
| AlanBell | technical problems are easy peasy | 18:19 |
| codo | ah give me link | 18:19 |
| codo | I will poke around the TODO | 18:19 |
| AlanBell | people problems make my brain spin | 18:20 |
| codo | etc | 18:20 |
| charlie-tca | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/festival | 18:20 |
| codo | okay. one min | 18:20 |
| charlie-tca | The website starts at http://fextvox.org/festival | 18:20 |
| charlie-tca | They link to a UK homepage that fails to load | 18:21 |
| codo | charlie-tca: so which is the bug you guys were talking about ? | 18:23 |
| charlie-tca | The website? It is different | 18:23 |
| charlie-tca | I gave up filing those website bugs now. They refuse to fix them anyway and complain if you file them. | 18:24 |
| codo | ah. | 18:24 |
| charlie-tca | Festival is a different project. It is speech synthesis | 18:24 |
| codo | ah ok I got confused there :) | 18:24 |
| charlie-tca | Sorry... Sometimes these conversations do that | 18:25 |
| codo | ah no probs | 18:25 |
| codo | would love to start in something easier | 18:25 |
| codo | and contribute to bug fixing in c etc. | 18:26 |
| charlie-tca | okay. I will keep looking for something then | 18:29 |
| codo | charlie-tca: so umm I will copy festival code | 18:32 |
| codo | and hack around it :P | 18:32 |
| codo | and see if i can fix some bugs | 18:32 |
| codo | it is in C ? | 18:32 |
| charlie-tca | It is written originally in C++ | 18:32 |
| codo | ah ok | 18:33 |
| codo | ya should be fine. | 18:33 |
| codo | though why do lots of people do C++ :O | 18:33 |
| codo | :P | 18:33 |
| codo | C is easier :D | 18:33 |
| charlie-tca | It was popular once upon a time, I think | 18:33 |
| charlie-tca | Ubuntu uses python a lot | 18:33 |
| codo | charlie-tca: ah ok are they converting it to C ? | 18:33 |
| codo | now ? | 18:33 |
| charlie-tca | Not to my knowledge they aren't. They are a university, so maybe they are using students learning programming to work on it? | 18:34 |
| codo | charlie-tca: yeah.ok . | 18:36 |
| codo | python is a popular language among all college grads. | 18:36 |
| codo | I understand now. | 18:36 |
| codo | charlie-tca: ok am doing bzr branch lp:ubuntu/festival now | 18:53 |
| AlanBell | MichelleQ: seen http://enabledbydesign.org/ | 20:54 |
| MichelleQ | no, I hadn't, but I know someone who would loooove the one-hand hair tie | 20:55 |
