Sad news: the WebAIM mailing list is shutting down on August 27.
The archives will remain available.
Since 1999, the WebAIM @webaim email list has distributed discussions on web accessibility and provided a virtual community for a diverse range of members. I've been subscribed since 2002, and I learned more about accessibility from the list and its members than from any other single source on the web.
End of an era.

They run the WebAIM Million project, which reports on the accessibility of the home pages of the top 1000,000 websites.
[1]Over the years, I've found their resources on Creating Accessible Documents to be a reliable link to share with folks to begin learning about document accessibility.

in reply to Philip Kiff • • •The decommissioning of the WebAIM list is a perfect opportunity to recognize and promote the other longest-serving mailing list dedicated to accessibility: the Webdev (or Web Design Update) newsletter run by @laura_carlson out of the University of Minnesota Duluth.
Since 2002, this weekly email newsletter has reliably collected and categorized the best articles on web accessibility. I can't recommend it highly enough.
