Question

Does anybody know about guide lines, web sites, etc. that describe, what one should keep in mind, if one is programming for a target audience that includes handicapped or older people? Or should one make no difference?

Here’s a place to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_accessibility

And if you’re a .net or other MS developer, msdn has all sorts of links with guidelines:
