XForms Accessibility Grant
Good news: Mozilla Foundation have just given a grant to improve accessibility of the Firefox XForms Extension. It will be done by Alexander Surkov, who has already done a lot of good work on the extension.
Accessibility grants. The Mozilla Foundation will be making two more accessibility-related grants. The first to improve the accessibility of the optional XForms extension; Alexander Surkov will be doing the work for this. Although XForms is not part of the default Firefox build, XForms technology is of interest to corporate and government users, and corporations and governments typically have rather stringent requirements for accessibility (e.g., the U.S. government’s Section 508 requirements). Improving XForms accessibility is therefore (among other things) an investment in promoting future adoption of Firefox in enterprise environments. — Frank Hecker’s blog
