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.
