not me. I am lost in the land of video + blackboard at the moment. And IE7 still doesn not work. Also we will have to deal with an institution-wide template which I suspect is a problem. So for the moment I am a spectator but yes, I am very interested. We *will* need to explore all this. On 6/16/

All public facing sites are accessible; it is required by law as we are a public institution. However I don't deal with the public facing stuff, I deal with the internal applications where the requirements are a little more lax. However the application vendors know that it will be a requirement.
