Hello Everyone:
There was a recent post/review on the Microsoft Accessibility Kit for SharePoint which is Paid for and belongs to MS. It is open source with the goal of extension and support. I believe that this has good merit but it has not been widely and openly adopted due to as pointed out on Twitter by @AccessForAll this reviewer says: http://www.lifeonplanetgroove.com/blog/index.php/2009/06/25/review-accessibility-kit-for-sharepoint-half-finished-product/
This is a pretty fair assessment but neglects to comment on Microsoft's true commitment to improve on the accessibility of MOSS. With this in Mind I am suggesting that a bunch of us who have committed ourselves to #a11y get together and extend this Microsoft Open source project and really give it QA and Really start building it open source.
Anyone who wants to join in please send me a email to ryonaitis@gmail.com
I will be in Italy and a couple other places mid July if anyone wants to meet to discuss this.
Cheers

Wow, that was quick. really three teams to do it right:
Deployment
Quality Assurance and Documentation
Engineering
All Open Source no one getting paid doing it and doing it right IMHO is payment enough!
