Hi Maciej, I know I'm risking a 'me too' post but I see 2 well established trends: 1) New web apps are appearing at a ever accelerating rate. The web is becoming a very popular platform for interactive applications. 2) ARIA makes these web app accessible and is being implemented by many now. That was one of the very clear messages we took home from CSUN last month. See: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/ARIA:_Accessible_Rich_Internet_Applications/Relationship_to_HTML_FAQ#Who_supports_ARIA.3F In fact that entire FAQ is great reading. Once you have the basic platform accessibility API integration implemented then as David says ARIA will work through that to expose the web app's DOM updates. P.S You make web kit sound very compelling, and it's popularity is telling. I'll keep an eye on the GTK+ port's progress ;-) -- Steve Lee -- Open Source Assistive Technology Software web: fullmeasure.co.uk blog: http://eduspaces.net/stevelee/weblog _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
