Cally

Cally (Clutter Accessibility Implementation Library) is the Clutter implementation of ATK (Accessibility Toolkit) interfaces. You can see it as the equivalent of GAIL in Clutter.

Clutter has become a fundamental part of the GNOME technologies and several projects and applications like Mutter or Gnome-Shell are using it. These applications will definitely use Cally as the base to implement their accessibility support.

Cally is also used to implement the accessibility support on hildon-desktop, Maemo 5's window manager and desktop, present in the Nokia N900 mobile computer. This has allowed the creation of automated tests for hildon-desktop.

And finally Cally talks

Cally was somewhat stuck during December due Christmas and parallel projects, but January was a productive month. A ClutterText bug was committed, and this allowed to push several cally bugs solutions and other blocked local commits, and going forward to...
