Or if you want all the basics, the differences between Euro and US 
standards, and pretty graphics, read my brochure:

>> Hi everyone,
>>
>> I know some of you are more up to date than I am on web accessibility 
>> stuff. The IGDA is moving towards a web 2.0 set of tools for their entire 
>> site, including our SIG site (which is why updating the site has been on 
>> hold, amongst other life crises).
>>
>> Can someone point me to a VERY easy to follow and understand set of web 
>> accessibility requirements (ie, not the stuff that requires reading 900 
>> pages of very nitpicky stuff but more of a "ok THESE are the top things 
>> you need to know" guide)? I've been asked by the IGDA for help in making 
>> sure our own resources, as well as the rest of the IGDA resources, are 
>> accessible as they move to this new system. The IGDA will then pass the 
>> web accessibility info to their dev team to implement.
>>
>> Thanks everyone!
