KDE Goals: Two Years of Progress in Accessibility, Sustainability, and Processes
summary
Two years of work produce concrete tooling, measurable fixes, and ongoing gaps: accessibility gets an Accessibility Inspector released, about 200 a11y merge requests processed, and automated tests via ATSPI and Selenium wired into CI though full screen‑reader/text‑to‑speech integration remains unfinished. Automation builds UI tests and CI that generate Flatpaks and Windows binaries, adds a Bugzilla bot for triage and forces passing tests, cutting unconfirmed bugs. Sustainability earns a Blue Angel for Okular, creates a K‑Ecolab measurement lab and OptGreen pilots but wider CI energy gating is still experimental.
