Forwarded from Eelke (see below)...ah it's a class action suit WITHIN SL not in real life. Lol. Well, that's what happens when you have someone with dyslexia (me) leading the group. I miss a few words here and there like "virtual" lawsuit. :D
Still, it's fun to discuss as if it were in real life. Hehe.
Yeah, those are good points, Eelke, about the enourmity of the task. And it's not our task alone to do -- the schools and libraries have to have to put some work in, as they are charged with creating accessible materials...and they *might* create something accessible, only to have people unable to get to it because SL is not accessible to some or because however they coded it was not in line with how the viewer gets coded and, therefore, does not work with the accessible viewer.
And then there's the matter of...where do we draw the line? A game can be played out using a web browser and, say, flash -- does that mean we are in the business of providing web accessibility and/or flash accessibility guidelines? It's not that we should not support and contribute to the discussion but we cannot lose focus on what we are about -- game accessibility. We can contribute to the middleground between a "game" and a "platform" because, yes, that's important. If no one can get TO a game because the very platform is preventing that, well, that impacts game accessibility. But if we go too far, why not focus on the accessibility of the physical entrance to the library or school or home?
Yes...I'm throwing this way, way out there...but I'm trying to provoke a dialogue on where boundaries may lie and what we can do best as a SIG without spreading ourselves too thin and, thus, decreasing our effectiveness.
