Last week a web-site raising was held in Austin, Texas. The project was called Accessibility Internet Rally. It paired non-profit organizations and web development groups in the area. The sites were planned in one day, developed the next day. Judging was primarily based on accessibility (52%) other areas included functionality, aesthetics, and appropriateness of the site to the organization. This might be a good model for bringing accessibility issues to the forefront in a meaning full manner. A follow-up survey of the web site developers concerning lasting implementation of accessible design is planned.
