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.
