introducing myself

hi fellow group members,

i'm michael participating the BAD and WAI-AGE[1] task forces.

i live a vienna, austria and running a small company (WIENFLUSS) there 
with the focus on web accessibility. apart from training & coaching, 
evaluation and implementation of accessible websites we currently are 
also doing some reasearch projects funded by the city of vienna:

* accessible e-commerce - accessible online shops for the older 
generation and people with disabilities. this project is focussing 
mostly on usability aspects for the certain target groups. after having 
finished the user testing we are currently deriving design guidelines 
for accessible web shops and starting to prepare a best practice 
prototype implementation.

* accessible toolbox for web 2.0 interfaces: this project has started 
recently and will develope accessible (and usable) solutions for typical 
interface elements of web 2.0 applications.

i'm also organizing an informal web-accessibility get-together in 
vienna. about 20 - 40 interested people are meeting monthly and share 
their know how and discuss accessibility related questions.

i would be happy to meet you in person or online. if anybody of you is 
coming to vienna drop me a note...

best regards, michael
