What is AT-SPI2

===============

 

AT-SPI2 is a D-Bus based accessibility framework. It defines a D-Bus

protocol for providing and accessing application accessibility

information. The project includes a library for bridging the D-Bus

protocol to the ATK API, allowing Gtk based applications to be made

accessible. It also contains a client (AT) side library in Python.

How can I contribute to AT-SPI2?

================================

 

We are actively seeking contributors to help us make this the standard

a11y framework for Gnome. We need help testing with Gnome accessibility

technologies, improving performance, and generally tying up loose ends.

The above-referenced page contains a list of known issues that should be

fixed.
