[Athen] Looking for Info on Web 2.0

[Terry Thompson]

Since Ron dragged me into this... In November of last year the University of
Washington hosted a Web Accessibility Capacity Building Institute in Seattle
that focused on accessibility of Web 2.0 technologies. More about that
event, including the proceedings, is available here: 
 
http://www.washington.edu/doit/cbi/webaccess/
 
The W3C's contribution to this is the Accessible Rich Internet Applications
(ARIA) Suite, developed by the WAI Protocols & Formats Working Group:  
http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria
 
ATHEN's own Jon Gunderson of the University of Illinois has been involved
with that group, and is co-editor of the W3C's "Roadmap for ARIA". I would
recommend Jon for your webinar, Norm.

	As I understand the term it is the new WAI standard.  I would
recommend our old friend Mike Paciello or perhaps Terry Thompson.

	I am hearing people talking about Web 2.0.  I only have the vaguest
idea of what they are talking about.  I am looking for information.  I am
also looking for a recommendation of someone who could discuss Web 2.0 on a
Webinar in the near future.
