Wikipedia:WikiProject Accessibility/What is accessibility?

The general term "accessibility" has different meanings. Throughout this project, we stick to the definition of W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI):

"Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. More specifically, Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web. Web accessibility also benefits others, including older people with changing abilities due to aging."
