Jukka,

If you weren't able to get it published by "real world" print publishers,
have you thought of making it into an e-book and selling it online?

Subject: [WebAIM] A summary of practical web accessibility

Last spring, I was frustrated with the situation that most web authors know
next to nothing about web accessibility and are faced with complex, poorly
accessible explanations of how to get started with _some_ accessibily
issues. I got the idea of writing a book along such lines but the idea was
rejected by three publishers, basically (I think) because there's simply not
much demand for any books on accessibility.

So I decided to convert the initial chapter of the book to a tutorial on the
web:
"Getting Started with Practical Web Accessibility"
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/acc/

It's not very web-like since it was originally meant to be part of a book,
but it's probably still more accessible than most guides on accessibility.
And I'm afraid I won't be able to work much on it, but I'll try to fix any
easily fixable errors.
