Comment 26 for bug 964685

Alan

As highlighted it appears that bug reports required are far more extensive than I had been able to trace prior to input from Canonical.

the list of affected packages to which bug reports have to be applied:

1) Compiz
2) gnome-control-centre
3) indicator-applet (Two Bugs)
4) gnome-accessibility-themes
5) gnome-accessibility-themes-extras
6) humanity-themes
7) apport

There may be more. I am still checking info against different information - as I don't want to be accused of filing the wrong bug reports.

I don't know the value of <email address hidden> - given that basic accessibility should have been designed in throughout - yet appears to have been designed out.

If it had been a factor in the basic design process it would be rock solid and fucntional in the Beta to allow people who need it to be included in the wider prooving and bug hunting. The failure at the design stage to respect that is not a matter that I take lightly. To me it is simply unacceptable and discriminatory.

Maybe they need to hear that - and as I have been discussing today - maybe Canonical require a Accessibility Champion/Guardian to protect the rights of Disabled people to have access - and also protect Ubuntu overall from the risks that come from getting it wrong.

I have to say - that in dialogue with individuals across multiple routes I am shocked at the laise faire attitudes I keep encountering - and the wrong headedness I keep encountering to so many matters and risks.

I am most unhappy with much that has been communicated and the way that it has occurred - and that is not just a reference to this thread. I am most seriously considering If I should be using Ubuntu at all - quite something after 5 years and the way I have pushed it to so many people.
