I agree that accessibility is below the radar of most developers. Less important topics are too, such as color management (modern browsers interpret ICC color profiles).
In my experience, what's effective is to videotape the conference and publish the video and audio recordings with transcripts, thus making available the presentations, comments, Q&A and learnings to all. That can be expensive of course if commercial firms are contracted with, but sometimes outreach to the community concerned can be the solution: offering e.g. free transport to a participant willing to record the event, finding volunteers to transcribe, etc. Sean On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 3:13 PM, Andrew Disley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 5 Mar 2008, at 13:21, Mr I Forrester wrote: > > > I don't believe there will be, but ability.net have said they want > > to do more of them depending on this event.
