WAI-ARIA support for jQuery UI 2.0?

[Anthony]

Hi,

My name is Anthony Rayner and I work for Oracle on a web development
team for a product called Application Express. I have a question
regarding jQuery UI and accessibility.

I read on the Paciello Group Blog (http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/?
p=313) that jQuery UI plans to have full WAI-ARIA support in version
2.0. Is this still the plan and do you have any timescales on when
this may be available?

I know that there is partical support currently and that there are
other projects that have done considerable work towards this currently
which is great, but it would be awesome for us and our customers to
have full support for all the jQuery UI widgets out of the box.

Look forward to your response.

Regards,
Anthony.

Hey Anthony,

This is still the plan and my guess would be that 2.0 would be out by end of 2010. We're shooting for a January release of 1.8, so that would give us a year to push out two new versions.

We're currently working with some of the developers from Fluid ( http://www.fluidproject.org/ ) and there has been interest from other developers recently to help out with accessibility as well. I feel pretty confident that we will be able to reach this goal.

Depending how ambitious we are with new plugins in 1.9 and how much help we get from the community, we may be able to pull this off for the 1.9 release, but that seems like a bit of a stretch right now.

Let me know if you would like more detail or if you have any other questions.
