a potential partner for our coming launch would be the creative school: http://www.creativehk.edu.hk/

they are training local young artists and are connected to local art circle. recently am working with one of the school founding members on the sexpress network, can try to bring them in later.

cheers, oiwan

Hi Chan-yau!

Thanks for reminding us on this! Currently our cc-hk site is on a
wiki, and I can't find the information on supporting Web Accessibility
from the service provider. Definitely we should put it in-mind, and
build the website using a accessible system.

In fact, I've never think of this -- how to improve wiki software so
that it is more accessible so that everyone can participate...
