Matthias Clasen has written a post on the GTK blog about recent changes in the accessibility implementation of the toolkit, as well as improvements in the tooling planned for the 4.12 release: blog.gtk.org/2023/06/21/evolvi

It's important to note that more work is needed to improve the accessibility stack on Linux; if you want to contribute you can read the at-spi2-core developers documentation for an overview of the changes to the stack: gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/a

We especially need more documentation on how ATs interpret the accessibility interfaces, and what kind of expectations should be satisfied by toolkits and apps.

@GTK I don't see any overview on this page though...

@emersion Ah, that was a mistake: it should have said "for an overview of the plans for the stack". I'll edit the toot.
