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
