Goal

During the 2011 ATK and AT-SPI Hackfest, we began addressing the problem of applications and toolkits not implementing ATK consistently. We created, and have slowly but surely begun work on, the resulting list of tasks. But there is much work on that list which remains uncompleted, and new issues which have subsequently been raised. Therefore, we are getting together in January to GetStuffDone(tm).

Who Should Attend?

• Developers of applications and toolkits which implement ATK
• Developers of ATK and AT-SPI
• Developers of Assistive Technologies which rely upon AT-SPI
• Developers of testing solutions which rely upon AT-SPI

Proposed Tasks

• Complete as many items as we can from the existing tasks list.

• Discuss and reach consensus on the best way to implement and maintain accessibility across the multiple toolkits used in GNOME.

Pre-event "Homework"

• Review and revise the Proposed Tasks.

• Review and comment as appropriate on the bugs blocking the ATK Metabug.

• File any new bugs for problems/requests in GNOME's bugzilla, blocking the ATK Metabug.

• When in doubt, ask on the mailing list.
