I feel very lucky to have been exposed to the amazing group of accessibility advocates in and around Dreamwidth, because it's contagious in the good way.

During my time as an LJ support volunteer looking at beta features, one of the first questions I asked myself was "How are permanent users and early adopters going to react?" because that was who spoke up in news entries if they weren't mentioned. (I don't think I was the only one to have this mental test.)

At DW, it's "what about the screen reader users?" (And usually I am *not* the first one to ask this question.) I like this much better.
