Within the #disabled community, most of the comments around #AppleVis have been along the lines of: "how can the site continue?" Outside of it, the comments have been more like: "I hope a new resource can spring up to take its place."

I think some (not all) non-disabled people underestimate the amount of effort required to set up a space that is designed, contributed to, and dedicated to people with #disabilities. Persistent examples do not come along very often, and are far more rare than, for example, websites about HTML of which there were probably 200 new ones started today.

when BCAB was looking to transition into TAVIP, I regret very much not being in a position to throw money at a solution that combined a web portal, maling list infrastructure and first-class accessible app. It could have been a tremendous opportunity to do for the accessibility space what gov.UK has done for access to mainstream web standards.

@cachondo Yeah we had big dreams for that, unfortunately never really came to anything. I don't think the people who responded to our RFP got it to be honest, and wonder what we could have done to push the point further.
