This is a good idea, but maybe we could take it further. After we have the Editors draft of the techniques how about we do a before and after pages with our techniques? We could use this for actual validation and sanity tests of our recommendations and as worked examples. Any volunteers?

Why not use our techniques page or issue papers?

The talks supposed to be only 20 minutes, so I think the goals would be primarily to raise awareness of the problem, introduce the W3C's work in the area, and describe a few techniques, for example from the WebAim page John posted earlier (http://wave.webaim.org/cognitive). Since seeing is believing, it also occurred to me that it would be cool to show an example of something like a "web page makeover" from a cognitively inaccessible page to a more accessible page, does anyone know of any examples like that?
