I think we need to find out how people who are blind or amputees are using our site so we can a) see what solutions they are using, b) if our site is working for them really now, and c) what things we do work and don't work. Without that we are in a guess mode and everything we do is flailing in some way or another. -- Stephen J Smoogen. "Don't derail a useful feature for the 99% because you're not in it."
