[Nfb-krafters-korner] What would You Like to See On The Web Site ...

[Annette Carr]

I want to add to Eileen's suggestions.  A list of links where you can go to
sign up for newsletters, pod casts, patterns, materials, tutorials, etc. for
various crafts would be helpful.  I think you might want to consider adding
a disclaimer that by posting these links does not ensure that they are
accessible to someone using assistive technology.  I do not think that we
should not post something because one group of assistive technology users
cannot access the site, but maybe a one line comment from our members if
they have experienced a problem accessing a site.  I am not saying that it
would be the responsibility of our web site organizers to test the
accessibility of resources.  Resources would have made it to the list
because a member suggested it as they found it relevant to the craft(s) they
enjoy doing.

I'd like to see a listing of known crafts that blind people in the group are
known to do successfully, links to sites that sell items that will help
assist specifically a blind craftsperson & links to places where accessible
books/information can be located on the specified craft.  If an actual
pattern(s) is posted, I think then they should be patterns written by the
people in the group and on the site, like any other site that gives free
patterns copyrights to both the designer & NFB are stated.  Remember, you
can't post a pattern without express permission of designers/publishers,
otherwise it is copyright violation.  You can provide links that anyone can
go and get the necessary information.  

As for other links, perhaps on a separate page (if possible, good sources
for purchasing supplies).
