Re: Action-1640

We are doing that James but we need a layer that works with webdriver and
Selenium that talks to the API exposed by webkit. We are doing this to test
the accessibility API mapping on all the platforms.

I'm sorry, no. I can't commit anyone's time to this at the moment.

I'd encourage you to take the TTWF approach [1] as much as possible.
Writing web standard tests using JavaScript that work in any browser will
be much more effective in the long run than writing platform-specific
wrappers introducing fragility.

      Hi James,

      Do you have someone who can work with the aapi task force, that
      Joseph chairs, to write web driver code to do automated testing of
      Safari for ARIA 1.1? We are working plans to do more automated
      testing for ARIA 1.1 and are currently working out plans to do
      automated testing for IE, Chrome,Firefox on Windows, and
      Firefox,Webkit on Linux.
