I'm curious if anyone is participating in the GNOME User Experience hackfest in Orlando September 21-23. While we're talking accessibility here, I think such concerns should be addressed as part of the overall user experience. I'll be in the building, but not sure I'll have much time to participate. (Besides, I'm not a hacker anyway.) I think if there are those who are hackers, they should apply for GNOME funding to be sent to the hackfest. I'm pretty sure the hackers there will appreciate having accessibility considerations as part of the hackfest. Short of that, someone could certainly compile a list of things that the hackers should look at as part of their hackfest.
