Hello, all. I made a new comm called
accessworld. This is not to specifically advertise that comm (though there's that too), but to ask for help.
This comm, especially, would be a great help, since it's all about the pointing out of accessibility fails. But I'm looking for wins, too. :)
I want to start a site that reviews buildings, transportation, vacation spots, etc., for locals and travelers alike.
It will seek detailed, firsthand submissions about the experiences of people with disabilities (as opposed to people like me, your friendly neighborhood mod, who hasn't had that experience and therefore won't be making any assumptions).
Any building, any city. Bakeries, shopping centers, auto shops, museums, car rentals, on and on. New ideas are always welcome! (Seriously, I need all the help I can get.)
There wasn't anything in the rules forbidding this, so I hope this is allowed.
I hope the eventual site gets enough input (and enough traffic) that the site could have some kind of recognition for accessibility, something a shopkeeper could put on his/her storefront window (to encourage other shops to work on their accessibility, and they'd be advertised as accessible on the site), and a shit list of the least accessible places, as a heads-up and hopefully to encourage those businesses to get on that. :)
This is going to be crossposted all over the place.
