Debian accessibility news
Hello,
Just a few news items:
- I should have pointed it out earlier: with Debian Stretch being
released, accessibility is now enabled by default. This means that
notably, on a Debian system running the gnome desktop, you just
need to press super-alt-s. There is no need to click some "enable
accessibility" checkbox and re-login any more. This will also better
expose the accessibility stack to developers, so they can themselves
notice issues with it.
- The a11y bug tracker tag was added, which we can now use to track down
the accessibility issues.
- The accessibility::* debtags were added. One can now contribute them
on debtags.debian.org. This will allow to do apt-cache searches with
filtering packages which have explicitly been marked as being
accessible.
- Just as a reminder, packages upload & bugs will stop being sent to
this list, but instead to pkg-a11y-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org ,
which you can subscribe to from
https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-a11y-devel
