Re: [orca-list] Funding bug fixes

Point of clarification: In addition to the hack Fernando mentioned, I
provided two pull requests against Caja to fix the bug at the source:

* https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/pull/979
* https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/pull/981

Both are needed and fix the problem without any changes made to Orca. If
you're able to test them and give feedback that would be helpful.

Thanks!

Joanie kindly helped us out with a hack, but we should test the ability
of this group to get things done by actually fixing the Caja bug at the
source.


LibreOfice is also extremely important, but lets see if we can fix small
bugs before we take on giant lizzards. :) Alternatively, we could choose
one or two important strategic bugs in LibreOffice and target that
together with Caja large folders.

Hi,

Making Libreoffice more accessible is a complex task which is very
expensive. While working on the interface can be done without so much
pain, working on the document rendering (regardless the component) is
a high much hard work.

But with a crowd funding, I think it is probably possible to improve
PDF accessibility. A work had been started and funded by GNOME
foundation, so things have been improved. A lot of things need to be
done but probably we could have results with less money collected I
think.

About the Caja bug, as Joanmarie did an advanced work on it, maybe
Igalia could be paid for that? I dontt know her opinion about such idea.

Talk about Impress and even improving accessibility with PDF, Orca is
the last thing to be corrected.

happy hacking.

If you can get the bugs fixed in the apps Orca is trying to provide
access to, you have my support. Hacking around bugs in those apps tends
to be a bad idea. And sometimes, it's not even possible.

I would like to hear from the orca developers. I would be hesitant to
start the group without the approval/participation of some of the
developers.

This is outstanding. A PayPal account would make it possible for F123
to help a bit as well.


Can you tell all of us what would be the next steps and what you need
from us? it sounds like Hypra can do the work, IAVIT can receive the
money and even contribute some, and F123 might also be able to
contribute a little bit of funding, just to show you guys are not on
your own, plus more support for future bugs.

We just decided to shut down iavit.org, the International
Association
Of Visually Impaired Technologists. I suppose we could reconsider if
there was a demand. I would be willing to coordinate funding for bug
fixes through iavit.org. We already are a 501C3 and have a paypal
account. We could put together a committee to set priorties and
decide on payments. I would be willing to chair the committee -- or
not if someone else wanted to drive it.

IAVIT has some money. We have already pretty much settled on what to
do with what we have left but I might be able to get IAVIT to
kick in
somewhere between a few hundred to a  couple of thousand dollars.
I'd
have to talk to the board of directors.

I also believe that such important work should be paid because it
will bring in a sence of commertial commitment as well as some
money for those who will be dedicating their time for this.

It is an important bug and must be solved.

It's now in your hand to make a crowdfunding and help us to invest
to fix this bug smile :).

Best regards,
Alex.
