[Nfb-web] NFB Drupal User Group

[Tami Jarvis]

That could be cool. The neat thing about Drupal is that the community is 
aware of accessibility and has a focus on it. Here's a link:

http://drupal.org/about/accessibility

There are a couple of accessible themes, at least, and I've noticed a 
lot of modules will mention the accessibility pledge. That just warms 
the cockles of my heart. /smile/ Also, it makes life easier.

Still being able to ask specific blindness related questions from other 
blind drupal users could come in real handy.

Oh, the accessible theme I'm hooked on is Zen. Another one is 
AdaptiveTheme, but I haven't played with it yet.
