On it I see a wealth of tools that are useful right now and will remain useful for quite some time. I want to point Web developers who work with me to those tools. I'm with those who say that what you have done so far is good enough, and you shouldn't make any major changes right now. Give it time to see if others can contribute... perhaps a few of us who really do spend time trying to teach others how to make information accessible. And thanks for your dedication to this cause. I would buy one of your books, but it seems that I already have each one of them. They have been a huge help!

The last few months have been so busy, I haven't had time for anything much accessibility related. It's been rare for me to have Twitter, IRC, etc. open. I've not been on Accessify Forum for months. I don't keep track of mailing lists. I don't read my blog feeds (but if I did, Accessify has always been one I pop open first). I've hardly blogged or experimented with things either. I think this has happened to many of us who have been keeping our eyes on the accessibility world for so long. Accessibility is more widely known (although still misunderstood!) and with Twitter taking flight, there's lots of talk every day. It's too much for one person to keep on top of, especially when it's not your main work focus, but one of your hobbies really. I can completely sympathise with your situation, Ian.

Even though they don't have access to computers, no one blog can reach them even a fraction of computer users. Those users don't perceive information the same way. We need many, and different, messengers to spread the news about accessibility. Here's my perspective. I don't have the privilege of working on accessibility-related issues in my day job. I pipe up when I can, but accessibility is more of a hobby. I am not a developer and I am not at the forefront of the coding battles to make information universally accessible. All I do is share information, either through http://www.stc-access.org where I blog with the wonderful Web Diva (who does know a whole lotta good stuff about accessibility) on issue related to accessibility from the technical communicator's perspective, or through real-life situations where I gently evangelise about the topic. I thought I couldn't contribute to the accessibility discussions in general, simply because I wasn't qualified with fine diplomas. However, I can share information. If, by sharing information, I can help open even one person's mind to the beauty of universal access, that is one person, who can then do the same to the next person they meet. We need you, Ian. We need every one of us to dig away at the barriers that prevent accessibility to all. You don't have to do this 24-hours-a-day. Bit by bit is good enough, and good enough is perfect! Does this help?

I read only one other blog on accessibility and with dozens of other blogs to read on various topics, searching for other accessibility blogs is not what I'd like to do. :) So, rehashing or repostin is a-okay by me. Plus, you will certainly bring your own perspective to it which is unique in and if itself. So I say keep it going and take the pressure off yourself. I agree with Kevin.

I have always believed what you wrote about was important. There is too much noise on the Internet to pay attention to everything, which is why your republishing of news is all right in my book.

But do it for real: Have a big permalinked announcement that Zeldman et al. can link to. Yours is merely part of the natural life cycle of personal Web sites, which is really what this is.

In many cases reviews are based on 1. Advertising Revenue 2. Pay for services (Consulting) then you get a mention I think a community review process would be a good thing if it was open to review itself and transparency. This is definately needed.
