New Faces to Accessify

This is a little late, but there's no excuse for not welcoming some new contributors to Accessify's news page. In no particular order (well, actually, it's the order they appear in my address book!) we have Anne van Kesteren, whose blog I have read on many occassions and enjoyed the discussions there. For those who don't know, Anne is actually male and he hails from The Netherlands.

Ethan Marcotte is an all-round good egg who put me up when my accommodation plans went badly wrong at SXSW2004 (I had no plans, really), so I rewarded him with more unpaid work. Am I not kind? Ethan runs Virtua Studios alongside his personal blog, sidesh0w.

Richard Rutter runs a site with the best name in the world, namely Clagnut. I don't know what it means but it sounds rude, and that's good enough for me.

Russ Weakley is one of the co-founders of the Web Standards Group, which has a geographic heart in Australia but whose members now span the globe. Hopefully Russ will report on all the web accessibility issues down under, including the many events that the Web Standards Group are organising there.

Finally, Sharron Rush, co-author (with John Slatin) of the book Maximum Accessibility will be posting news from her base in Austin Texas where many wonderful people involved in web accessibility seem to be based. Sharron is heavily involved in Knowbility.org which does great things in promoting accessibility for all.

So, welcome on board one and all and happy posting!
