Free Standards Group Accessibility conference, January 2005

As has been mentioned several times before in this blog, the Free Standards Group has a working group focused on accessibility standards for computing systems. This group is having their first conference, graciously funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

The FSG Accessibility Workshop will be held at the Honolulu Community College on Oahu, Hawaii. The four day conference will focus the first year goals of the group: standardizing on AccessX and AT-SPI, as well as a number of discussions about I/O issues for accessibility.

Interested parties should indicate that they plan to attend via the RSVP form. (2004-12-05 23:53:31.0) Permalink

Mozilla Keyboard Accessibility proposal, 2nd draft

Sun's first Mozilla Keyboard Accessibility proposal generated hundreds of comments. Now the 2nd draft of the Mozilla/Gecko Keyoard Navigation Proposal is out.

Interested parties are strongly encouraged to review it, and send comments to < mozilla-accessibility [at] mozilla [dot] org >

(subscribe via the usual list interface: mozilla-accessibility-request@mozilla.org or via the fancy web interface).

In addition to the proposal itself, Sun is making available that contains much of the keyboard accessibility proposal implemented. The most recent one is from December 3rd, 2004.
