The most important task for my first hackweek - accessibility of the Gnome Shell.

There's the project called gnome-shell-mousewheel-zoom - not maintained for 6 years.

  • Let's make it working again!
  • Let's find (talk to) the old maintainer
  • Let's review/merge those 4 pull requests
  • Let's sort and maybe solve those 13 issues

Looking for hackers with the skills:

    Write a shell extension for GNOME by tdz

    Description

    I usually do kernel and systems programming. This project is about learning more about the userspace and application side. Writing an extension to gnome-shell seems like a good place to start. The GNOME shell is scriptable via JavaScript and a number of such extension is available from upstream.

    On X11, there used to be a toy rsp. screensaver called XPenguins. After the desktop being idle for some time, it sent penguins falling down the screen and walking along window borders. It doesn't work any longer with Wayland-based compositing, but re-implementing it as extension for the GNOME shell might be possible. There already existed a port around a decade ago that could serve as starting point.

    Goals

    • Learn about how shell extensions work and how to write one
    • See if XPenguins can be converted
    • If successful, try to upstream the result
