status of Twitter Bootstrap and accessibility

Greetings to those on WebAIM interested in improving accessibility of
Twitter Bootstrap:

I know we've had a couple of threads on this, of late, and I'll try
not to keep "beating this drum" on the list.

But I thought some of you who have been working on accessibility of
the Bootstrap framework might be interested in this post:

How to modify Bootstrap simply and effectively | Webdesigner Depot

While this post doesn't relate to accessibility, per se, it occurred
to me that you might have comments to add, want to reference your
work, and/or see new places, based on this list of resources, that
might be interested in incorporating the work you've already done to
improve this increasingly used framework.

If the core devs aren't interested, because they expect the open
source community to do the work (and thereby make accessibility
separate from the core), then it seems to me that we need a
collaborative effort to build an accessible module, so people who do
care about accessibility don't have to keep reinventing the wheel.
And those who want an easy and fast framework will at least have the
choice to make it accessible, assuming they know enough to know that
their choice will make a difference to many site visitors.

Best,
Jennifer
