Hi!

I thought about msending an anouncement to the dot tomorrow.

Here's a draft:

Accessibility.kde.org resurrected

After several weeks of technical problems, http://accessibility.kde.org is 
on-line again with a completely renewed and enhanced version of the web 
site.

You now find a new section with Accessibility Reports, and detailed 
information on the first KDE accessibility IRC meeting, where possible 
approaches for adding an assisitive technology framework to KDE were 
discussed.

The new web site structure reflects that a lot of new tasks are being 
tackled in the KDE Accessibility Project. A great number of people have 
joined the project, and some keen projects have been started.

Pupeno is writing a DCOP service for text-to-speech conversion. It will 
support Festival, FreeTTS, the German Hadifax TTS and all text-to-speech 
programs that can be started by a command line. Interoperation with 
gnome-speech is also planned.

A first client for that service, KMouth, is being developed by Gunnar.

An even bigger project is adding support for an Assistive Technology 
Service Provider Interface (AT-SPI) to KDE. Here the KDE Accessibility 
Project is still in the planning and discussion phase, as every decision 
on that will have great influence on other areas of KDE and Qt, and on 
Gnome interoperability.


What do you think?

Olaf
