As the Drupal Core accessibility maintainer, I from time to time have people ask me about the accessibility of different contributed modules. Several times in the past I've been asked about the accessibility of Panels (where I assume the person means cTools Page Manager as well). Only this week have I had the need to use Panels and Page Manager. This is by no means a thorough review, but my observations as a screen-reader user.

There is a lot of confusion around the integration of HTML5 and WAI-ARIA, even amongst professionals in the field who have been working with the technologies for some time. One reason for the confusion, at least for me, is that WAI-ARIA defines a set of rules for mapping roles, states and properties to an accessibility API, and does not define any functionality other than this; whereas, HTML5 defines functionality, often but not always relying on WAI-ARIA for accessibility API mapping. This article seeks to answer common questions about the use of WAI-ARIA in HTML5.

As many will know, I am currently undertaking a review of the accessibility of the core jQuery UI widgets. Last week I wrote an article jQuery UI accessibility review: what's the plan?. In that post I outlined my plan for the review. Reviews of several widgets have already been performed, the informal notes can be found in the comments to the article.
This is the first of several status updates. Please find below a list of jQuery UI bugs that I have opened based on results of the review.

Last week I wrote an article stating that I was planning on performing a jQuery UI accessibility review. Plans have not changed, and I am still planning on performing this review, with the help of several others who have stepped up and offered to help, next week, starting on November 7. This quick article will outline my plan for organizing and performing the review.
