Hi!
For your information: This is a draft specification for a keyboard
accessibility standard to be released by the Free Standards Group. The KDE
Accessibility team is involved in this effort, and once one oversight in the
current draft is corrected, KDE 3.5 will be the first desktop to support this
standard.
If other developers are interested in giving feedback to this, then you are
highly welcome to do so.
Olaf

The Free Standards Group Accessibility Workgroup (FSGA) works to
develop standards supporting comprehensive access to information
and user interfaces for persons with disabilities on computing
platforms which adopt free and open standards (such as Linux,
AIX, and Solaris). The FSGA standards process is open to
interested members of industry, developer, and consumer
communities. Obtaining public comment on our proposed standards
before they are finalized is one of the most important steps in
our process. Public review helps ensure our standards are both
relevant and complete.
DETAILS:
We are now requesting comment on the following specifications
produced by our Keyboard Access Team (FSGA-kbd) [1]. These
specifications are expected to become FSG standards in 2006.
* Keyboard Access Functional Specification, RC1
This specification defines keyboard access
assistive technology features and the
functionality an FSG certified platform must
provide in support of accessibility.
* Generic Assertions for Manual Testing, RC1
This specification describes how to validate
that an implementation of the functional
specification is correctly implemented.
Once these specifications become FSG standards, they will define
the keyboard access functionality a user can expect from an FSG
certified computer system.
HOW TO SEND FEEDBACK:
You may respond through bugzilla using the appropriate URL below
or by sending email to the address below. The preferred method
for receiving feedback is via the web because it automatically
logs your feedback in our tracking system without additional
human intervention. If possible, only use the email method if you
have troubles using the below URLs. See [2] below for guidance on
how to Search bugzilla for other's comments.

REVIEW TIME PERIOD:

NOTES:
[1] - The following Mousekeys functionality will be removed from
the final version of both specifications. It is being removed
because it turns out the functionality can not be made user
settable. To be removed:
"2.2. Pointer step size (aka initial jump)."

Functional Specification" and "Generic Assrtions for Manual
