One of the projects being pursued by the WebInSight Group is Accessmonkey, a new approach to improving the accessibility of web pages that removes the current reliance on web developers. While many attempts to improve accessibility target developer education or the creation of new client tools for overcoming automatically deficiencies, Accessmonkey seeks to enable anyone to make content more accessible after it has been produced and make improvements available to anyone else that views it, including the developer of the site!
We're currently collecting examples of web pages whose accessibility could be improved on our handy accessibility improvement form. When you're browsing the web and encounter an inaccessible web page, report it on our form and, when possible, we'll write a fix for it and publish it for use in our upcoming release of the Accessmonkey browser plugin. Our goal is to isolate those problems that occur frequently and produce accessible tools that will allow users (whether blind or not) to fix them.
For more information about the Accessmonkey approach to improving web accessibility, please visit our Accessmonkey Project Page.
