The wifi connection here at the conference center is crummy. I feel like technology conferences should never have that problem. Ever. Especially a web-based conference.
I just got out of the accessibility session, and I have to say it was one of the most boring and useless bits of information I've ever heard. I'm interested in accessibility, but, in general, I don't practice making sites I create accessible because I don't tend to create sites specific to disabled peoples. Nearly everything I create is text-based and I code to XHTML standards, so it's a reasonable assumption that my site will be accessible to most people. I am still, however, interested in the technology and standards, and so I was interested in the session. I was hoping they would fill me in on how current accessibility technology works and some best practices. Instead, it was simply forty minutes of talking about the current status of the documentation. The entire session was about the quality of the documentation. Yuck.
If you want more accessible sites, you should convince more people like me to get into making our sites accessible. But you're not going to do that by complaining about the verbosity of documentation.
