Accessibility resources

[personal profile] jadelennox's comment in news, asking me if I'd like to discuss more WAI-ARIA options for the update page made me realize that though I've been reading up on the basics, there's still a lot I don't know, and I am not nearly enough familiar enough with the landscape to figure out what the best resources are.

So, lazyweb, what are your favorite resources for accessibility, with a focus on web development? Blogs, lists*, irc channels*, webpages, reports, books, etc. I have a bunch of tabs open right now for reading, but more links are always welcome.


* caveat that the lists and channels are comfortable having new people and lurkers *g*

I know it's Drupal, but this page has links to other resources, and Everett Zufelt really helps (me, at least) to think about better pactices.


Drupal Voices 98: Everett Zufelt on Accessibility in Drupal

I hope you find it helpful to see how another project is trying to work on Accessibility issues.

Other links, you probably have, but just in case:

fu, you've probably seen this, but I'm going for my tabs and realizing I really need to deal with them. Paciello Group to be adding accessibility to jquery. Just based on what I've seen with the dojo stuff and what I've seen it with the general accessibility so far with jquery + this news, I have to say that even though the dojo/dijit people's *commitment* to accessibility seems nice, jquery seems far more practical from an accessibility standpoint (not to mention more widely used). thoughts?
