The Web Accessibility Initiative will develop the tools, technology, and guidelines to make it possible to display information in ways that are available to all users." -- President William Jefferson Clinton With support from the Administration and the Yuri Rubinsky Insight Foundation, the World Wide Web Consortium has launched an initiative to make the Web more accessible for people with disabilities. This initiative was launched at WWW6 - but there is still plenty of room for additional company sponsors!
