Re: [orca-list] Making Ubuntu Software Center accessible



Bill
You're running into what is going to become a huge issue before it gets
better, and that is Webkit's inaccessibility. It's a huge problem and
most likely going to get a lot worse before we actually have any
accessibility to the Webkit engine. It's a GNOME issue not so much an
Ubuntu issue, GNOME went webkit without giving a care as to what
happened to accessibility to HTML-based widgets when they did that.

Since Karmic, Ubuntu has not had a decent accessible software

it may make sense to work on making that accessible.  Is this already
in the works?  Is that the right place to put effort, or should we
have blind users install the old gnome-app-installer?
