Your question:
What considerations are needed to ensure the accessibility of mashups to assistive technologies (AT) like screenreaders, used by six million blind and visually impaired Americans and more than 80 million worldwide?
Can we afford to just leave them out? Is all the responsibility on the AT or do developers have a role to play? How can we include these considerations as we introduce mashups to the nonprofit sector...or indeed to the general public?
Thanks!
