While we are on the Foundation and legal stuff, can
someone tell me whether
as a US-based 501(c)(3) organization there is any legal requirement for
Wikipedia, as a website, to meet certain minimum accessibility requirements?
None as a result of being a 501(c)(3). (If Wikimedia were a
government agency OTOH...)
Never the less, it's obviously desirable to be as accessible as
possible: I can't think of any reason why any material accessibility
problems wouldn't be given a fairly high priority. Not only is
accessibility good on its own merits but accessible development
usually supports other things we consider good (such as broad client
compatibility and machine readability).
