[Athen] Accessibility Awareness Campaign

[Terrill Thompson]

Hi Pramila,

We've gotten some mileage out of our #nomouse campaign (with accompanying
website at http://nomouse.org).  The idea is to encourage people to try
using their computer without a mouse (especially a website or software
application they have some responsibility for) and talk about their
experience.  We focus particularly on keyboard accessibility because it's
easy for anyone to try that without requiring that they install and learn
any new tools or technique. The #nomouse campaign is the hook, and the
nomouse.org website provides more information to help them understand
accessibility more generally. At the bottom of the website we link to our
internal UW resources on specific accessibility-related topics. If you want
to reuse this content but customize it for your purposes, you're free to do
that as long as the original source is acknowledged (see the footer for
specific licensing details).

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Terrill
