The ARIA and Assistive Technologies Community Group has been launched: http://www.w3.org/community/aria-at/ -------------------------------------------------- How WAI-ARIA is supported by assistive technologies, such as screen readers, is highly variable. This variation in WAI-ARIA rendering adds unnecessary complexity to the development of high-quality web experiences for users of assistive technologies and places significant limitations on the types of web widgets that can be made widely accessible. This community group is dedicated to: 1. helping assistive technology developers converge on a set of clear norms for baseline support of WAI-ARIA. 2. Helping web developers understand the current state of support for WAI-ARIA by assistive technologies. WAI-ARIA is as important to assistive technology presentation as CSS is to visual presentation. Join us to help make WAI-ARIA as reliable as CSS. -------------------------------------------------- To join: http://www.w3.org/community/aria-at/join If you do not have one already, you will need a W3C account to join: http://www.w3.org/accounts/request This is a community initiative.
