With your support, the ARIA and Assistive Technologies Community Group has been launched:
http://www.w3.org/community/aria-at/

by Matthew King. The following people supported its
creation:

Please note that supporting a group is different from joining
a group. Supporters must also enroll if they wish to participate.
--------------------
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.
