Hi, I have just rolled a new Accerciser release. It is basically all included on master since the last release. You can see the details on the announcement I have just send. Having said so, WARNING, it is a blind release. I took what it was available on master, and checked that compiled with make distcheck, but I didn't test it. I would really really appreciate some testing, hoping to fix anything missing before 3.31.90 (look here [1] for this cycle dates). And hopefully, by 3.31.90 we would have improved the maintainer status. So Alex, is any of you volunteering to co-maintaine accerciser? Samuel perhaps? Ideally we would need the agreement of current maintainer. But as far as I understand your previous email, you didn't get any answer from Javier. Could you confirm that? If we don't get any answer from Javier, the alternative is asking permission at desktop-devel-list gnome org (or perhaps at the foundation list). So, with everything this in mind, how something about this?: * We check if there is any volunteer to step as accerciser maintainer. * We send another email to Javier, perhaps looking for an alternative email address. * We wait a reasonable amount of time (reasonable is subjective, not sure how much to wait). * If we don't get an answer from Javier, we ask permission to co-maintain accerciser to GNOME.

Hello all, The current version of Accerciser was release on 2016 and are not longer usable on recent system due to iPython5 migration. On Debian, we've specific patches applied to avoid that (patches are available upstream). This situation prevents people on some distributions to use Accerciser for increase or test accessibility. As we're already too few people working on accessibility, having a broken accessibility inspector make people tells me "how I make Accerciser to work on OpenSuse?" and could abandoned to take care of accessibility. When looking at the Git repository I'm seeing people making patches and updating translations. At Hypra, we've adding the iPython 5 support on December 2017. As no one from Hypra (especially Samuel Thibault) has not the permission to make a release we need to rely on someone with the rights to do that. @Joanie/jbicha and all: Could you help us to release a new version of Accerciser ? I've not your experience on the GNOME Project to know how we should proceed in such critical situation. @javier: Do you have the time to continue to be Accerciser maintainer? The last commit of you was on 2016-09-20. Thanks in advance.
