The story behind this is that we at ACLU of Washington state are currently in the midst of redesigning our site in Drupal. Since we are the ACLU, we have a heavy emphasis on accessibility and user privacy. Usability is also very important to us, in fact, we brought in some freedom-fighting librarians to help us with our information taxonomy!

We saw lots of Drupal case studies before we started, but we didn't see any that got into the nitty gritty of actual time, cost, plugin modding and building, accessibility and theming. So we've dedicated resources to create a more technical case study. We would be happy to present it at SxSW along with screenshots of the whole thing coming together.

ATJWeb.org was built on Drupal with modifications for accessibility about a year ago. I am curious to see if there are any major recent improvements.
