We've also created an IRC channel for public discussions of ARIA. You could discuss any AJAX or Web 2.0 accessibility topics there.
It is #wai-aria on irc.w3.org:6665, and the topic says - Aaron Jennifer Sutton wrote:
Peter and others:One thing you could do is to Google around. And another thing would be to check out the list's archives on this thread for the last bunch of days.But since I happen to have some stuff around, I'll paste in a few links and hope that others who are more expert than I am will critique my selections and add others. Also, since many of us are both concerned and excited about the potential value that AJAX will add to our Web life, if it's deemed appropriate, maybe some of this could be captured on the evolving Wiki that Jamal and others are building, though I surely understand if this info'd be deemed out of scope for that Drupal-based project.So, here I go. As with all things W3C, I would start with the W3C, such as:Roadmap for Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI- ARIA Roadmap) - http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-roadmap/PF/ ARIA /BestPractices - ESW Wiki - http://esw.w3.org/topic/PF/ARIA/BestPracticesSome references to Mozilla's work:ARIA: Accessible Rich Internet Applications - http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/ARIA:_Accessible_Rich_Internet_ApplicationsAaron just cited this yesterday:http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/ARIA:_Accessible_Rich_Internet_Applications/Relationship_to_HTML_FAQ#Who_supports_ARIA.3FSome references to Google's work: Google Code Blog Introducing AxsJAX -- Access-Enabling AJAX:http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2007/11/introducing-axsjax-access-enabling-ajax.htmlShowcase - google-axsjax - Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/google-axsjax/wiki/ShowcaseHere are a number of additional citations, in no particular order.

Hi: My humble thought on this, as I have been watching discussions of AJAX and accessibility, is that we're aiming here for what I'm thinking of as reference implementations. This way, there can be good examples of ARIA-implementation to point to so that other Web sites may use it as a model. I hope we're not getting into screen-reader specific implementations, though I do realize/recognize that we are at an early-ish stage where a browser can be required. It's like when we try to encourage a Web site to become more accessible; it always helps, in my experience, to point to samples. That way, you can say something like: "Here's an example so that you can see that XYZ can be done. And here are a few reasons why it's done right/works for this site." Just my two cents.
