Possibly OT: general Linux accessibility channel on IRC?

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I personally think that an irc channel of accessibility would be a very 
nice thing to have.  This might be slitely off topic but I really think 
sometimes having live support even if it is text chat in reguards to 
accessibility is very helpful and most irc channels for linux no one knows 
anything about speakup.
