		<description><![CDATA[Frank Hecker has recently blogged about two new Mozilla accessibility projects. Great to hear!
Also, I really need one of the new Firefox 3.5 tag cloud t-shirts.  Imagine a cloud of colorful words describing Firefox 3.5, like &#8220;open&#8221;, &#8220;friendly&#8221; and &#8220;standards&#8221; arranged to fit together. Some words are vertical, some horizontal, it&#8217;s quite interesting looking.

The Catalyst award page describes Frank perfectly:
Catalysts are elements or chemicals that can cause or accelerate reactions but do not, themselves, get used up. They are, in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=accessgarage.wordpress.com&blog=4292552&post=252&subd=accessgarage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

To summarize what I&#8217;m reading and thinking: IBM realized that our efforts [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=accessgarage.wordpress.com&blog=4292552&post=219&subd=accessgarage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[JAWS screen reader manufacturer Freedom Scientific has published their January podcast. In it, Glen Gordon describes the design of WAI-ARIA and how it improves accessibility in Web 2.0 applications.
This is followed by a number of ARIA demonstrations by Jonathan Mosen. Jonathan first shows ARIA-enabled websites with JAWS 10 + Firefox 3.04. He then demonstrates JAWS [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=accessgarage.wordpress.com&blog=4292552&post=198&subd=accessgarage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, I blogged that Internet Explorer 8 beta 2 was not using standard syntax for WAI-ARIA properties. The syntax actually varied depending on the mode chosen for the page, which was confusing. Sometimes the standard worked, and other times you had to use non-standard camelCase for WAI-ARIA.
Microsoft has listened and is correcting [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=accessgarage.wordpress.com&blog=4292552&post=193&subd=accessgarage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

There are at least 3 major open source math Braille translation projects, each supporting multiple Braille math codes (there are over a dozen types of Braille math worldwide).
This raises many questions. Which open source library should screen readers [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=accessgarage.wordpress.com&blog=4292552&post=185&subd=accessgarage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
