ACTF inside Eclipse Galileo

I just view a webminar by Chieko Asakawa (IBM) and Kentarou Fukuda (IBM). Exposes very clearly the web accesibility problem and how the Eclipse Project is working to provide tools for checking the level of accesibility of your webs.

The Accessibility Tools Framework (ACTF) version 0.7 is included in the brand new Eclise Galileo, and the ACTF 1.0 will be released in sep 09. The installation is optional and is under the General Purpose Tools category of the galileo update site (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo).

For those who work with webs or web applications it gives you some cool features:

• Integrated blind and low vision visualization
• Accesibility and usability report
• HTML accesibility perspective
• OpenDocument accesibility perspective (supports OpenOffice 3.x)
• Integrated with Web Tools Project
