Testing Distro
Joseph provided a patch to orca to upgrade from using GConf to GSettings that fixed orca <-> gs-mag communication, but had the effect of revealing another bug (652500), a dbus exception which he is currently fixing.
Joseph will provide a patch to fix bug 652500.
- Joanie will roll a new tarball from master once she has Joseph's patch.
- Javi will spin a new (and possibly the last accessibility-specific) spin of the testing distro once he has the new tarball from Joanie and any other required changes requested by our team.
- Javi is afraid about how to manage new code into new spins and he asked the a11y team if they all agree with only providing tarballs, not isolated patches.
- AGREED: the a11y team will provide only tarballs to Javi.
Gtk+ Deprecations
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2011-June/msg00078.html
- Some gtk widgets were deprecated: GtkHBox, GtkVBox. This affects current gail implementation, and in fact, there are some warnings related to that.
- Joanie opened bugs against Accerciser and Orca to do the needed changes, but this likely affects most of our team's modules.
- In the meantime, modules can use -UGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED.
After porting to gtk3, Javi may count on Aline's help to fix bug 652485
- There are other deprecations, like in glib, but for the moment it is not clear if this will affect final apps or just base libraries.
- Conclusion: We will wait, and talk about it again in the future.
Action Items Update
- Javi's working on Matthias' reported issue. Javi had only a solid lock up with jhbuild, but he needs to investigate more about this, because isn't clear how to reproduce it.
- Mike hasn't yet added the "do nothing if no one is listening" to atk-bridge that he said he'd have done for 3.1.3.
Action Items
New
Joseph will provide a patch to fix bug 652500.
- Joanie will roll a new tarball from master once she has Joseph's patch.

Ongoing / Rolled-Over
- Brian:
- Send a mail summarizing his proposal regarding a testing-centered design.
- Announce his Mago tests on the gnome-accessibility-devel list, and also create a README and INSTALL.
- Mike:
- Modify atk-bridge not to listen for atk signals and send out events unless an AT is listening. (This will likely involve modifying at-spi2-core as well, to add a way of tracking active ATs.)
- Javi:
- Investigate Matthias' statement that when he tries to run Accerciser in jhbuild on his system, it "locks up solid after a few minutes every single time."
- Joseph:
- Investigate if it is feasible to call libatspi using javascript (ie: on gnome-shell)
- Piñeiro:
- Work with Joanie on prioritizing the tasks identified during the ATK hackfest.
- Review the documentation page.
