I know that people who browse with a screen reader can't use it. Etherpad is so useful that I hate to turn away from it as a collaboration tool.

I'm definitely interested in working on this. I'm swamped at work for the next week or so, but might have some time to help after that. I have no knowledge of the Etherpad code base, but, as a user, I do have some ideas on how to improve its accessibility.\r\n\r\nOne suggestion I'd make is to first worry about the single user case (saving the live collaboration case for the second phase.) Even though one of Etherpad's major features is collaboration, I suspect there are plenty of folks that use it, at least some of the time, alone. There are also some relatively \"low hanging fruit\" for the single user case. If you like, I can try to put together a quick list now or a more reasoned and thoughtful list next week."}}
