I am willing to devote some time to creating good examples of
accessible JavaScript, or, at least, examples of JavaScript code
designed to keep the HTML page they appears on accessible.

I am Peter-Paul Koch, writer and maintainer of
http://www.quirksmode.org, an internationally acknowledged source of
JavaScript tips, tricks, best practices, and compatibility tables. I
am considered an JavaScript expert in web develoment circles.

I'm a new member of this list, and my main reason for subscribing was
to monitor and offer help in the discussion of the tricky relationship
between JavaScript and accessibility, a subject that I'm very
interested in.

Since I'm a new member, I'd appreciate:

a) a link to the current Scripting Techniques document
b) a short summary of the purpose of this document 

After receiving this information, I'm willing to write a few practical
scripting/accessibility examples.

Exactly. The document should highlight design patterns for approaching
accessibility. If scripters use these patterns their pages will remain
(somewhat) accessible, regardless of the exact code they use.
