GSoC 2017 Ideas

• Game to teach keyboard shortcuts
  • http://ss64.com/osx/syntax-keyboard.html
  • https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/12445/windows-keyboard-shortcuts
  • perhaps a tool to teach digital literacty
• Automate a11y tests for Infusion using gpii-webdriver
  • Some of the groundwork will be in place via https://issues.gpii.net/browse/GPII-2205
• interactive accessible multi-colour palette tool
  • https://www.dropbox.com/s/6eqqrjlwi7aob8i/Colour%20palettes%20.pdf?dl=0
  • Accessible colour palettes that have more than two colours (most current ones only have two)
  • This could be a useful widget to be able to connect to projects like Chart Authoring ("choose accessible palette")
  • could add colours as desired
  • Export to CSS / Stylus / swatches, etc.
  • Include a contrast mode for monochrome themes
• AChecker
  • Upgrade AChecker to work with the latest PHP version - http://www.atutor.ca/atutor/mantis/view.php?id=5547
  • Choose a PHP test framework and add a test suite for AChecker
  • A bug fix - http://www.atutor.ca/atutor/mantis/view.php?id=5726 (small one)
  • configure a rate limiter into the AChecker API code
• Video player? does this need work?
  • see "Video Player" section https://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Post+Infusion+2.0+Review+Meeting+Notes
• WCAG Game
  • Learn each principle beyond just accessibiliy - how WCAG can help make for better designs in general.
  • i.e. How the "Understandable" principle is a good design principle, not just for accessibility.
• Interactive "Flowers and Petals" Inclusive Design tool
  • define petals
  • print off an empty template
  • web-based for collaborations
• Inclusive design guide adaptations:
  • features to allow adaptations of the Guide for different audiences
  • allow a user to pick and choose cards to adapt or print
  • student can even create an adaptation if there's time.
• Game to teach about privacy concepts? This could extend from current privacy work and wireframes
• Responsive program that observes what you are doing on the computer and gives you hints -- digital literacy
  • something related, but smaller scale could be things like the "mini assessments" for sticky keys and etc in the first discovery tool
• Poetry Map a11y
  • https://torontopoetry.ca/
  • build accessible mapping components for infusion
• Sonification prototyping tool
  • quickly share, iterate, and collaborate on sonfications of data
• Something related to Math accessibility?
• Accessible business way finding tool
  • integrate AXS maps and Google reviews
  • Sort of like: http://tech.aph.org/ne_info.htm
  • Aggregate accessibility venue data.
• Expansion of the first discovery tool into a game -- targeted for the Oak project populations
• Remote co-design tools
  • Multiplexing audio streams (so a remote user can hear another participant's screen reader and mic)
  • Maybe even a list of tools and practices a co-design newbie can follow to use it
