All,

I have followed this thread thoughtfully, as well as the email I have received off-list. Like all of you, I highly value the discussions of techniques, strategies and the hashing out and clarifying of technical concerns that takes place here. I do not anticipate that the formation of my list will in any way take away from the valuable interaction of the WebAIM list. Its goal is not to draw members away from full participation in this list. Rather, its purpose is to provide the possibility for the small number of us who are blind/vi professionals working in the field to interact more closely with one another.

I have begun moving forward thoughtfully, so as to think through how to define this project in a manner that complements existing resources. If there is an unmet need, a group will develop. My thanks to those who have offered input and assistance, you will be hearing more from me off-list.

Regards,
-Len
