Scripting Enabled Day Two brainstorming

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Here’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
