Hi Jason! Thank you for a great presentation at RailsConf. It was very nice meeting you. I have started working on a port of my Python Accessibility Analysis Kit (http://peterkrantz.com/projects/paakt) to Ruby. The idea is to be able to add something like “assert_basic_accessibility” to a functional test (that renders a complete page).

Jason, thanks much for the presentation. It was truly one of the gems of the RailsConf – with so much talk of rails core and deployment issues, your talk was on the margins and that made it all the more interesting. And after reading that your daughter was clocking in a temp over 105, I’m even more impressed with what you said and presented. I would have said, “Screw the RailsConf” if either of my children was that hot.

Thanks again for a great talk and some grest questions to think about.

Hi Jason, thanks for giving a great presentation at RailsConf (and for posting the notes!). I think it’s up to people like us to push the Rails core team towards better accessibility standards. Perhaps some kind of guidelines for developers, and tests. I heard some good ideas related to adding accessibility checks in functional tests.

Email me and I’ll get you more information about the flash/tts stuff I have been working with.
