Thanks everyone – I appreciate the interest. This has all been wonderfully helpful.

The one thing that I am finding is that we as web developers tend to focus on things like accessibility, cross-platform compatibility, and so on and so forth. But when I’m talking to executives and such, they tend to hear only one thing: Money. It is my aim to insert as much capitalist rationalization into this research as I can…

I ran across a professional organization trying to promote accessible web design.

The Guild of Accessible Web Designers (GAWDS) is a worldwide association of professional organisations, web designers and developers working together to promote the use and preservation of accessible design standards.

I think you should have a look at the Enterprise Information Architecture roadmap from Louis Rosenfeld:

Wonderful suggestions all! Thank you very much – keep it coming.

Molly: Yes I have seen the survey results. We were discussing that at the recent Voices That Matter conference. In particular, I was struck by the survey’s indication of such a low ratio of women in the business. A quick look around that particular conference floor or at my own workplace would indicate otherwise, but I don’t doubt that the world beyond my little demographic might trend more towards the numbers reflected in the survey.

Maybe it’s just guys that fill out surveys?
