I have decided to stop new submissions to this site (which I think was one of the first wikis dedicated to AT), and just leave the content up as archive.
The reasons for this are that a)the site did not take as a collaborative b) there are other tools around now that people in AT can use to network/collaborate c) people are starting to spam the site and i haven’t time to maintain it.
Some of the other places to go these days are:

The Assistech Wiki is a collaborative website aiming to develop an evidence base and information resource within the Assistive Technology field.
The 'Experience Base' area of this site contains information about Assistive Technology. Here you can contribute or read about experiences, best practice, new things, questions, comments, real life experiences... absolutely anything assosiated with Assistive Technology. The site also contains a list of Assisitve Technology services and companies and an area for announcements.
The 'Evidence Base' area demonstrates how you can contribute to the development of the Assitive Technology Evidence Base - using simple tools to build up a library of Assistive Technology evidence online. You can also go to the Research or Projects area of the wiki to document and discuss your research ideas.
A wiki is a web page that can be edited by anyone (who is registered) - thus information can be slowly improved and added to. You might have heard of wikipedia - the online encyclopedia - the Assistech Wiki aims to be a Wikipedia just for AT.
This website is the ‘sister’ to the ASSISTECH mailing list:
