I have discussed graceful degradation of AJAX additions in OpenACS with a couple of different people offline, but this is the first example I have heard of where there are people trying to build it into a framework.

Posting here (instead of OpenACS dev) so that the UNED folks focused on accessibility see it.

Hey Carl, that's the goal with OpenACS also. Thanks for the links, Rails definitely has some stuff we can learn from.

Hi Carl, nice links.

I'm the person at UNED who works with and improves the aLF User Interface (aLF is how we call to the UNED dotLRN main instance). One of my goals is to use some AJAX, not only in dotLRN but in OpenACS as well. Of course, I'm concerned about accessibility, so I'm working now with Zen.

It would be nice to keep in contact and talk often.

Miguel,

I'll make sure we post on the forums our progress, and of course, the code will be in CVS.
