I guess it depends on what sort of content we're talking about and how 
much. There are articles on Wikipedia devoted to the accessibility of 
particular things:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessible_tourism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessible_toilets

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_accessibility

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_accessibility

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_accessibility

See also Wikipedia's guidance on what content should go into the 
encyclopedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About#Wikipedia_content_criteria

Alternatively, if the content is not very "encyclopedic" and more like a 
collection of tips, then other wikis might be more appropriate. For example:

* http://blind.wikia.com/

* http://math.wikia.com/

Or create your own wiki at, for example:

http://www.wikia.com/

Of course, this may be overkill - perhaps all that's needed is someone 
to draft up an FAQ and get NFB to stick it somewhere on their website.
