Chris,

I think this is a good idea. I might be willing to assist.

We would probably want to capture information on why someone felt
something was more or less accessible.

I am also wondering if there might be ways to capture performance
information as well. The fact is user comments are likely to provide a
lot of preference information and maybe not much performance
information. I find I am also interested in knowing things like which
approach allows the user to complete a task quicker and which approach
is less likely to introduce errors into the user's ability to complete
the task.

It may also be possible to use a site like this to provide information
on how well specific versions of AT support accessibility features.

Thanks!
Tim
