Hello John and all,
Here is an email posted last November, from the British Computer Association
for the Blind list. It might be worth everyone who is interested in the Fantasy
Football site, to make contact.

I thought list members might be interested in a campaign called Fix the
Web, launched by Citizens Online.
At last, an easy way to complain about inaccessible websites - start
reporting problems now!
BCAB members supporting the initiative include Leonie Watson and Robin
Christopherson.
Join the campaign to make the web more accessible for disabled and
older people.
Fix the Web makes the reporting of web accessibility issues super quick
and simple for disabled people - it takes under 60 seconds. The
campaign is also calling on tech-minded volunteers to pick up the
issues and take them forward with website owners.
Fix the web is aiming to get 250,000 websites addressed within two
years and bring about a digital culture change in the process. Given
that volunteers will largely be "techies" their involvement in the
campaign will help to raise awareness of digital access issues.
Fix the Web is calling on disabled people now to start reporting
websites they have issues with - large or small. There are over 50
volunteers waiting to take them forwards. Find out more by visiting:
http://www.fixtheweb.net
Start reporting web accessibility issues in any of these ways:
1. Send a brief email to post@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the url and problem.
2. Send a tweet that includes #fixtheweb #fail url problem.
3. Fill out a three line form : http://fixtheweb.net/node/add/report
Please Note: Bug testing is taking place throughout the Autumn, though
it is expected to take a few months before the system is completely
"ironed out". Fix the Web is asking people to be patient and welcomes
feedback and any thoughts they have about the process. A browser
toolbar to make reporting sites even easier is on the way too. Report
now or join as a volunteers and together we can Fix the Web!

Hi all,
With sighted help last night I managed to enter another team in to the
telegraph fantasy football website.
it is impossible for a blind person to do this as when you click the check box
next to the player it goes to compare players which is a real pain for us.
now I have my team entered though and have registered it is better.
I just hope the chap at the telegraph who is putting our teams will give us all
our points from the start of the season. my team will of course only get points
from this next Saturday.
shame the r n i b cannot get in touch and see if there website can be made more
accessible.
cheers now.
