* '''[http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria WAI ARIA] support in Firefox, Thunderbird, and other Mozilla applications''', along with work to support ARIA in open source AT products used with Firefox and Thunderbird (e.g., Orca and NVDA) as well as in popular JavaScript libraries, and work to promote ARIA and train web developers in its use (previously funded by the Mozilla Foundation). This provides infrastructure support for making complex AJAX-based web applications accessible. | * '''[http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria WAI ARIA] support in Firefox, Thunderbird, and other Mozilla applications''', along with work to support ARIA in open source AT products used with Firefox and Thunderbird (e.g., Orca and NVDA) as well as in popular JavaScript libraries, and work to promote ARIA and train web developers in its use (previously funded by the Mozilla Foundation).

* '''Accessibility support for [http://openvideoconference.org/about/ open video]''' as implemented in Firefox and other Mozilla applications via the [https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Using_audio_and_video_in_Firefox <video> tag] (previously funded by the Mozilla Foundation). This makes a major Firefox 3.5 innovation accessible (assuming there are also easy-to-use applications to add captions, etc.). This is also a good example of accessibility enhancements potentially driving new innovations: Better support for open ways to caption video and audio content can enhance searchability of such content (since you can search against caption text) and also promote more localization of video and audio content (via subtitling). | * '''Accessibility support for [http://openvideoconference.org/about/ open video]''' as implemented in Firefox and other Mozilla applications via the [https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Using_audio_and_video_in_Firefox <video> tag] (previously funded by the Mozilla Foundation).

* '''Video accessibility support in HTML5''' also needs further accessibility work around how to associate and deal not just with captions and subtitles, but also with audio descriptions and sign language in a consistent manner. [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Accessibility/Video_Accessibility Mozilla is doing extensive work in this area and leading with trial implementations]. | |||
