Dear WAI Interest Group,

The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group and the WAI Education and
Outreach Working Group invite you to comment on the following documents
published 22 January 2008:
* Web Content Accessibility and Mobile Web: Making a Web Site Accessible
Both for People with Disabilities and for Mobile Devices, an introductory
page
     http://www.w3.org/WAI/mobile/
* Experiences Shared by People with Disabilities and by People Using Mobile
Devices [Draft]
     http://www.w3.org/WAI/mobile/experiences
* Relationship Between Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0 and Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines, First Public Working Draft
     http://www.w3.org/TR/mwbp-wcag

These documents describe the overlap between design goals and guidelines
covering accessibility for people with disabilities, and design goals and
best practices for mobile devices.

The draft documents provide a framework for the community to discuss and
contribute to this work. In some places there is draft content and in other
places there is only a rough outline of potential content.

Please send any comments on these documents to public-bpwg@xxxxxx
If possible, please send comments by 4 March 2008.

For more information, see:
* Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group

Subject: ARIA Live Region support in Orca 2.21.90

Hey Everybody!

I'm proud to announce that ARIA Live Region support is included in
today's release of Orca 2.21.90.  Nearly full support for pages with
proper ARIA markup is now available.  In addition, several popular pages
that contain live regions without ARIA markup are also supported.  I
welcome community feedback on this latest Orca feature while I work
toward the 2.22 release.  Please visit the following links to learn more
about live regions, Orca support of live regions and ARIA in general.
