am interested in the accessibility of online communities including (but not
exclusively) Facebook. I am reporting to a committee which is evaluating
implementation of online communities on campus. I searched through some
emails and I didn’t see much discussion on this issue. I don’t want to
recreate the wheel if online community sites have been evaluated already.
Another question is whether people with disabilities are using
these online communities?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
