[games_access] IGDA GA SIG Website -- feedback needed

[Barrie Ellis]

This seems like a good top 10 accessibility pointers for good accessible web 
design:

http://www.webcredible.co.uk/user-friendly-resources/web-accessibility/testing-web-accessibility.shtml

It also has links to web-testing software for strict accessibility. People 
often forget how important images are for many people to help them 
understand - and to improve how easy it is to read a page. Using plain clear 
English is very important too. I think on this list we often use terms and 
abbreviations that are not common knowledge. For the web-site we really must 
explain everything clearly: http://www.plainenglish.co.uk/
