Vision Australia has started the year with a flurry of activity in Tasmania: - a full day workshop providing an overview of accessibility, common issues, solutions, and an quick look at assessment tools. This workshop was attended by 32 web people from state and federal government departments, University of Tasmania and a single private developer. - a half day workshop for the state government introducing them to assessment tools and techniques and providing hands-on experience and exercises. This workshop was well received and we hope to repeat it with other groups. - a "Business Briefing" under the IT-Test banner <http://www.it-test.com.au/> with the state government's Intelligent Island team to make small-medium ICT firms aware of the international accessibility issues they might face as exporters. Brian Hardy presented a paper about web accessibility at the (libraries) OnLine2003 conference in January and demonstrated the Web-4-All system < http://www.web4all.ca/> I participated in the Accessibility Forum <http://www.accessibilityforum.org/> earlier this week hosted by Apple in Cupertino. The presentations should all be archived shortly along with the webcast which will include the discussion following each presentation.
