[Lynx-dev] Re: Lynx as accessibility tool

Timothy,

I should perhaps add in evidence that a grep of ~7000 public domain svg files at http://www.openclipart.org only six had title content.
A student and I are currently adding title content to files: http://www.openicon.org
I have also been advised that an inkscape bug#209199 from April has resulted in a title dialogue being added to the most recent developer releases.
there is far more, but that's a flavour.

Timothy,

Lynx has for many years been - the - open source accessibility tool, perhaps even a decade.

However since firefox, opera and safari all now support SVG natively one may expect that developers may produce content.
without a suitable accessibility tool the evidence is that accessibility is ignored as mentioned by David Woolley earlier in this thread around February.

It's my hope, which I believe is shared by Thomas that Lynx will maintain the premier position that has.
He had agreed with me that monthly reminders were appropriate.

I trust this matter is now explained to your satisfaction?

regards

did you investigate SVG language?
that is there is little or no text mark up.
Hence I am wondering, what can the delay be?
is stripping out the title and text content that difficult a task?
could you indicate which part is causing a problem?

Mr. Dickey has other concerns beyond Lynx.  If this is such an important
feature to you, consider sponsoring its development.  I'm sure he'd be happy
to incorporate a useful patch such as this.  But don't expect others to give
you neat features for free just because you want them.

Thanks,
Tim
