I have read through half the notes we have on the wiki so far and done 
a lot of minor editing to get grammar, spelling, etc right. 
 
I notice a few problems: 
 
1. some people write about what happens in, say the US, as if it is 
the world - these notes should be international 
2. there is a lot about diseases or medical conditions - including 
interpretations of research. I don't think this should be included .. 
except, perhaps, where it is necessary to understand a need but surely 
all we really want on the wiki is the list of functional requirements 
the user might have? 
3. Some of the use cases seem to be tied very closely to the 
disability - is this necessary? I think it'd be better if they were 
representing functional needs and the use case was therefore 
independent of medical conditions that cause the need. 
 
What I have seen leads me to asking again if we would not be better to 
start with the medical conditions, list all the typical problems, then 
set them up in a table that has nothing about medical conditions in it 
but is simply a list of functional needs (some might be specific 
versions of others), and then write use cases that show how the needs 
impact the user in a typical engagement with the Web. 
 
Perhaps you could share these ideas with others?
