Hello,

I wanted to let folks know that I have just created a group on the professional 
networking platform LinkedIn called Web 2.0 Accessibility Forum, whose focus 
is, as its name suggests, on  all topics relevant to Web 2.0 and 
accessibility. Like it or hate it, Web 2.0 technologies are gaining momentum in 
their adoption and use in place of HTML alone to build rich internet 
experiences. The objective therefore is to bring together users with 
disabilities who have experience interacting with Web 2.0 applications; 
individuals working on accessibility efforts to make aspects of Web 2.0 
accessible; and the broader community of Web 2.0 developers and champions to 
learn about and collaborate on ways to make these applications as accessible as 
possible.

The URL for the group’s page is http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/1605077 -
Note that if you are not a LinkedIn member, you will have to register. I
should say that as a screen reader user myself, LinkedIn is one of the more 
accessible professional networking platforms out there, which is
partially behind why I decided to house the forum there.
