Weekly A11Y Bug Nag

[Calum Benson <calum benson sun com>]

So, the release team thought it might be a good idea to publicise the
accessibility team's weekly list of bugs affecting GNOME accessibility,
in order to maybe get a few more people working on them.

Until one of us has time to write a script to generate the report
automatically[1], we use a list that's manually stitched together from
various bugzilla queries, so it's not pretty and doubtless contains the
odd inaccuracy.  But here's this week's for you to chew on anyway:

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/tech-docs/access-bugs.html

Executive summary:

36 Urgent bugs (listed as "Stoppers")
48 High priority bugs ("Candidate Stoppers")
118 Normal priority bugs ("Significant")
71 Low priority bugs ("Lesser Impact")

Overall: 

8 new accessibility bugs since previous report
9 accessibility bugs closed since previous report

Notes:

- Priorities reflect the accessibility team's assessment of impact on
accessibility, which may not reflect the current bugzilla priority.

- Only bugs that affect Sun's version of GNOME are listed, so
accessibility bugs in apps such as Epiphany don't currently make the
list.

- The second column contains links to Sun's internal bug tracking
system, so please don't bother reporting them as broken :)
 
Cheeri,
Calum.

[1] Volunteers very welcome!  But it's not as straightforward as it
might sound so please ask for details of our unique prioritisation
system first :)
