After a little request from suseROCKs (yes the very same openSUSE Board Candidate going by the pseudonym of Bryen Yunashko), I started to package a neat looking a11y application. This was my first foray into an accessibility application, and to be honest I sucked. I sucked so bad that after 3 days of trying to package it and it's relevant dependency that I called on a professional a11y packager, decriptor (yes the very same openSUSE Board Candidate going by the pseudonym of Stephen Shaw) who managed to fix the blessed thing in less than half a day.

NOTE: This post is in now way an endorsement or vote for either candidate ;-)


So pray tell what fancy a11y dohickey am I rambling about? Why MouseTrap of course. WTF is MouseTrap and how does it have any a11y uses? Well quite simply, it allows users to utilise their webcam instead of the mouse. If you go to the project's website you can see a video of it in action. As always I give you:
Install MouseTrap via 1Click

As you can see the project is pretty young and as such has no funky/pretty icon - I won't attempt to draw one as my artistic skills are worse than my packaging skills. So calling all artists, please could you help out and design an icon that can be used in the application and elsewhere?
