Wanted Perl Programmer to help with a little Project for the Visually Impaired FreeSWITCH users.
As many of you know we have a pretty large number of FreeSWITCH users that are visually impaired (from significant vision loss to right out blind). Most of these users use screen readers to help them, and in some cases they use other technologies like Brail output devices. However, these things only go so far. One of the issues they have is with Jira, and its lack of screen reader ³friendlyness²... I think I have a solution for this... If you are a reasonably good perl programmer and want to help me out on a small project drop me an email offlist. I have an idea that should make it much easier for this group of users. K -- Ken http://www.FreeSWITCH.org http://www.ClueCon.com http://www.OSTAG.org irc.freenode.net #freeswitch
People like you make all the difference in the world. Congrats for the initiative. I myself cannot use Jira on Mac OS X with VoiceOver and would love an alternative. I have quite a few bugs queued up for the day I can file them. Good luck and thanks! Ps: if Jira is skinable, maybe it's just a question of using a less dynamic skin?

As I mentioned in a previous thread, my wife works for a local blindness charity, and she'll be following this too. On 11 December 2012 21:39, Emrah <lists@kavun.ch> wrote:
