Scripting Enabled is a “ two day conference and workshop aimed at making the web a more accessible place.” Christian Heilmann is organising it (for some time in September) and he needs input and help.
This is a really good and long overdue idea. The event will be over two days with presentations explaining some of the barriers people face online in terms of accessibility followed by some practical action. Hooray!
Developers and experts will be able to work together to provide alternative interfaces and solutions. And hopefully some of those experts will be some of the people who are experiencing the problems in the first place. Perfect!
Go to Scripting Enabled to sign up to the Yahoo Group to register your interest or support.
There’s also a to do list on the site, so let him know if there is anything you can contribute, especially any ideas on venues. Update: The venues will be London Metropolitan University and Gamelabs London
I’m really looking forward to this event and will be giving my full support to this however I can.
