SSI Is usable software important for you research? It’s a simple question, and I’d think a simple answer. From statistical analysis, to cloud services for data storage, to less mature but still necessary workflow management; most research scientitist I speak to use research software. While some of this software comes from industry as mature ‘billable’ applications or infrastructure, lots of software comes from research developments ‘by scientists for scientists’. Important but created on finite grants, it need to be preseved and developed for all to use.

(X)HTML Accesskeys have existed for years, and through most of this time I’ve been pushing for WebApp / RIA centred accesskeys, or in reality accesskeys linked - not by a character - but by the semantics of the functionality that the key relates to. Just recently, Charles McCathieNevile (chaals) who works for Opera Software Standards Group has revisited the problem by creating an accesskeys extension for Opera 11 beta – documentation is available.
