I am interesting in evaluating Atom to determine what the accessibility
needs are. I'd limit this, at least for now, to enhancements to help
blind screen reader users. I'd like to eventually develop a list of
recommendations for improvement, e.g development of new technology or
creating usage guidelines. My primary interest is in relation to the use
of Atom in mashups, for example, a web page may start out being accessible
by using W3C WCAG ( Web content Accessibility Guidelines, see
http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/ ) but by incorporating content via
Atom it may become inaccessible. If you've done any research in this area
or if you have pointers to background material I'd like to hear from you.
I am starting at ground zero with respect to Atom (but have been in the
accessibility field for many years) so it's likely that no information
will be too basic :-)
Should further discussion related to accessibility take place on this list
or atom-protocol?
Thanks,
