Check out the winners of recent AIR competitions,
http://knowbility.org/air-austin/?content=winners. AIR stands for
Accessibility Internet Rally, originated and promoted by
http://Knowbility.org. AIR recruits tech teams, and trains them in
accessibility (basic (HTML) and advanced (scripting, CSS, and Flash)). Then
the tech teams are paired with non-profits which have been trained in how to
say what you want on the web. In a one day (8 hour) rally the teams produce
web sites for the non-profits which are then judged for accessibility,
function aesthetics quality of purpose. There is a gala event celebrating
the winners. It started here in Austin but AIR's are spreading - watch for
(or start) one in your home town.

Subject: [WebAIM] examples of accessible sites


Hi -

I'm looking for good examples of accessible sites to show off to some
coworkers who consider accessible to mean boring and dull.

A variety of sites would be great - for example, a mix of educational,
commercial, and other types of sites.

I'd be interested in a site even if it doesn't do everything right
(yet). For example, a site that is mostly accessible but still hasn't
made its multimedia accessible yet. (So I can say, &quot;Look, this is an
example of a site that has done so and so right, but still needs to work
on this and that.&quot;)

Any suggestions?

You can reply to me on or off list. My email is <EMAIL REMOVED> .

Thanks.

Wendy
