Carl MalamudHack 6: Audit the Feds (2006)
10 Government Hacks — Slides From a Talk at OSCON 2006 [[ Hack 7 >>
Hack 5 was hard. This one is easy.
Section 508 is a federal law that says government websites should meet accessibility standards. There are a few loopholes, but they have to at least make an effort. The cool thing about Section 508 is that each agency has to name a Section 508 Coordinator and publish that information. So, go get a tool like Checky or Web Developer and adopt your favorite federal agency. They're required by law to be responsive, so they'll be delighted to hear from you.
