Reply Message #27 of 56 |
I am proud to announce "the schedule for the two days of scripting
enabled":/schedule/ and also that "Jeroen
Wijering":http://www.jeroenwijering.com/ will be coming over to
Scripting Enabled to get first-hand information about accessibility
and online video and implement it in his amazing JW player. The JW
player is the de-facto standard open source player for Flash video in
Web Sites and lately also got a Silverlight build.
I'll get Jeroen also to meet with the BBC and Yahoo's online video
divisions to see what can be done about accessibility of our systems.

Things are shaping up, and I am a-tingeling :)
