Jon Gunderson is quite active on the WebAim list, which you'd probably find useful. (http://www.webaim.org/discussion/) One thing that I think is useful about that list, is that they also consider the needs of all users - those that require screen reading technology for visual impairment are a pretty tiny percentage - when you consider those that need screen enlargement, appropriate contrast, dyslexic users etc., etc., If it's any consolation & it probably isn't, here in the UK, a survey about a year ago (I think for International Day of the Disabled person last year), found that the vast majority of Government Websites in the UK (and also EU) weren't fully accessible in one way or another. -- Emma Duke-Williams: School of Computing/ Faculty eLearning Co-ordinator.
