I would be interested in such a list. Also, if you need a server to host a site/list I could provide that, free of charge, a cPanel installation.

Subject: [WebAIM] Email List for Blind and Visually Impaired Testers

All,

As a blind tester I am always looking for strategies to improve what I do, and clearly identify where I need to bring in a sighted tester for a visual check. The current discussion regarding testing contrast is a good example. Often I find myself wishing I had a place to discuss these matters with other blind or visually impaired testers, and a site where we could aggregate community knowledge.
I am considering registering a domain and launching an email list for this purpose. I do not have a feel for how many others would have an interest in such an undertaking. If you would find this of value, please drop me a note off-list. If I get a sufficient response, I will move forward.

Regards,
-Len
