Scripting Enabled Day Two brainstorming
Saturday, September 20th, 2008Here’s the ideas we collected in the brainstorming of Scripting Enabled hack day:
- Easy way to distribute GreaseMonkey - it is a really powerful and easy tool to use, but far too geeky. We need an easy way to tell people about its magical powers in a non-geeky way
- Accessible WYSIWYG editor based on the YUI Rich Text Editor
- Setting up a wiki for “Website Longplays” - descriptions how people with different disabilities managed to still order a CD, get to a sign-up form and so on. This would allow other people with the same conditions to do the same and tell the companies running the sites what the real issues are.
- Fixing the gallery in Wordpress to have alternative text as a must and clean up the markup
- Create a custom CSS for enabling line-wrapping for any site
- Create a “Screen Highlighter” - a script that blacks out everything on the page but the part you’re currently focusing on
- Using OpenID and microformats to auto-fill form fields
- Creating Audiobooks from the Gutenberg project with voice synthesizers
- GreaseMonkey script to add larger buttons to Google Maps
- Easy YouTube enhancements - location bar to understand searches and more enhancements flagged up by Antonia Hyde
- Microformat to mark up accessible buildings - hRamp
- Walking instructions using geolocation and TFL data
- Lonely Planet + Ordnance Survey Maps
