All,

The topic for this week's community meeting (Feb 8) is the Accessibility
Tree and its relationship to WAI-ARIA.  There will be some hands-on
activities and if you want to participate, you will need to download and
install a couple of things.

For demonstration purposes, I am focusing on FireFox's DOM Inspector
plug-in and, to a lesser extent, Apple's Accessibility Inspector.  There
are other inspectors for different OSes and I'll mention them, but I won't
be providing detailed instructions on installing them.

For FireFox's DOM Inspector, you need to install two plugins, in the
following order:

   1. First install the Web Developer plugin:
   https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-developer/.  After
   installing, restart FF to activate.
   2. Next, install the DOM Inspector plugin:
   https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dom-inspector-6622/.
   Again, restart to activate.

The DOM Inspector is a tool within Web Developer.  It is accessed via Web
Developer's "Tools" toolbar button, which posts a menu containing a "DOM
Inspector" menu item.

The macOS accessiblity inspector is part of its XCode development kit.  As
such, there is a lot to download just to get the inspector.  Also, I've
only done it for macOS Sierra.  I imagine it's similar for other version of
the macOS, but I'm not going to check that.  If you still want to get it,
use the App Store, and look for and install "XCode".  It's free.

After the download is complete, a convenient way to launch the
Accessibility Inspector is (1) "Cmd+Space", (2) enter "Accessibility
Inspector" into the text entry field, and (3) hit return.  In terms of
where the application actually is:  it's here:
"/Applications/XCode.app/Contents/Applications/Accessibility Inspector"

Other Inspectors:

   - GNOME/Linux's "Accerciser": https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Accerciser
   - The Paciello Group "aViewer" for Windows MSAA, UIA, IAccessible2, and
   ARIA:  https://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/aviewer/
   - Microsoft's "Inspect" for Windows UIA and MSAA:
   https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318521(v=vs.85).aspx
   - "Accprobe" for Windows MSAA and IAccessible2:
   https://github.com/IBMa/AccProbe
   -
      - Note:  this is for geeks only.  There is no easy installer here,
      and requires set-up-by-hand.
