User Testing RIAs (Google reader)
Wednesday, 07 October 2009
A somewhat belated response to this. I did watch the video and it certainly is interesting, and gives a good, if somewhat depressing, perspective on the reality "on the ground" of WAI-ARIA. Can I just ask if you (or anyone else on the list) have done any work on testing gmail (which, I presume, also qualifies as a rich text application, at least in its "standard" form) with users with disabilities? It's a matter somewhat close to home, as DCU has just (two weeks ago) deployed gmail to all its students, replacing its traditional email service. Of course, I'm also interested in accessibility of the fall back "basic HTML" version. Best wishes, - Barry.
