It can be daunting starting out in accessibility because there is so much info out there but the good thing about that is there are a lot of folk who are always happy to help, myself included. I think we are quite lucky in the UK with web standards (there is still work to be done though, don't get me wrong). Like you I'm interested in how different places deal with it and am really keen to see if we can take lessons learnt in the UK and elsewhere to help boost accessibility and standards elsewhere. I've been focusing a lot of my time on doing this via WaSP so do pop over for updates from time to time. Hi Steve, glad you find the site useful, and thanks for the feedback.

Will be visiting regularly. The internationalism of web standards is an interesting topic. I know with accessibility, I'm finding it interesting to see how different countries tackle the subject. The UK seems a bit ahead of the curve comparatively, the US seeming to slowly take it more seriously (more higher-profile lawsuits will probably accelerate that). Spreading the word globally through translations is an excellent goal. Good luck!
