Dear WAI Interest Group Participants,
W3C WAI is excited to announce the publication of WAI-ARIA 1.0 as a W3C
Candidate Recommendation on 18 January. WAI-ARIA is the Accessible Rich
Internet Applications technical specification for making dynamic,
interactive web content accessible to people with disabilities, at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/
Candidate Recommendation (CR) is a major step in the W3C standards
development process; it signals that there is broad consensus in the
Working Group and among public reviewers on the technical content of
WAI-ARIA 1.0. The W3C Process stages are described in:
How WAI Develops Accessibility Guidelines through the W3C Process
http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/w3c-process
The primary purpose of this CR stage is to implement and test WAI-ARIA.
If you are interested in helping or have additional comments, please
contact us via the instructions at:

before 25 February 2011

Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) moves to
Candidate Recommendation (CR)
http://www.w3.org/QA/2011/01/wai-aria-cr
Background:
WAI-ARIA is a technical specification that defines a way to make web
content and web applications more accessible to people with
disabilities. It especially helps with dynamic content and advanced user
interface controls developed with Ajax (also known as AJAX), HTML,
JavaScript, and related technologies. For an introduction to the
WAI-ARIA suite, please see:
WAI-ARIA Overview
http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria
WAI-ARIA works with existing web content technologies, such as HTML, and
provides a way to apply the requirements of Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 for rich web applications. Accessibility standards
developed by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) are listed in
WAI Guidelines and Techniques at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/guid-tech.html
