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!
