Brain-Storming

ES: the goal is to make a balance between "everything we can make perfect" and help as many people as possible who are missing this feature.

  1. Provocative: Why do we implement this as a core feature while there's already a working extension for this (http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/insecable)?
  2. Scope: "French". In which country? France, Switzerland, Belgium, Quebec, others? Which references should we have?
  3. Use always a simple non breaking space (HTML: &nbsp) or follow the subtle differentiations of the French typography rules using a so called "thin space" (espace fine) (HTML: &thinsp - which is a BREAKING space!) depending of the case?
    1. And then re-work the implementation of "Tools - AutoCorrect Options - Custom Quotes" when French is the current character language?
  4. Shouldn't we avoid to through a very language specific feature into the general AutoCorrect Options dialog?

Accessibility

Accessibility is the responsibility of the I-Team, beginning with UX, DEV and QA, to ensure that the following requirements are fulfilled:

  1. Is the feature fully keyboard accessible?
    (Ex: "I can go everywhere and use every function using the keyboard only"

    Does not apply
  2. Have I specified visual alternatives for the case that the specified feature includes audio as output?
    Does not apply
  3. Are text alternatives for all icons and graphics available?
    Does not apply
  4. Don't provide important information in colors alone
    (Ex: marking important information hard coded in red)

    Does not apply
  5. Does the specified feature respect system settings for font, size, and color for all windows and user interface elements?
    Does not apply
  6. Have I ensured that flash rates do not exceed 2 hertz for blinking text, objects, or other elements? In any case, try to avoid flashing UI elements
    Does not apply
  7. Ensure that assistive technology (AT) (like ZoomText or Orca) is able to read everything.
    Does not apply

QUESTIONS?

If you need help while designing, implementing or testing the accessibility of the UI, ask/visit:
