The responsible, conscientious web developer wants her site as widely accessible as she can make it. Perhaps she knows enough to read the accessibility guidelines and she can address many -- even most -- of the high points.

But the developer seldom has the knowledge and experience to recognize the subtle, nuanced issues in accessibility.

I propose a group that will concern itself solely with accessibility. The group will allow:

  • Q&A about accessibility; and

  • Requests for site reviews that are mostly limited to the accessibility of site.

The group might result in better, more-accessible sites generally; and in heightened developer awareness in particular.

Pete - Have you looked at ux.stackexchange.com? Accessibility frequently comes up. That may be an interim alternative

  • @Dori - I was looking at it as consciousness contributes to the developer's effectiveness in this area.

If you think that this isn't currently covered (or sufficiently covered) on any existing SE site or proposal, please consider creating a new proposal yourself!

For more info on how to do that, the Area 51 FAQ has a section on How do I start a new site?
