I really wish the pages for projects like these would devote even a small section of their documentation to accessibility. I know it's not usually top of mind, and not everyone is bound by Sec508, but it is an oft-ignored best practice.

I'm not saying this is inaccessible - it looks like it would be okay at least as far as screen readers are concerned, though there may be color contrast issues depending on the image (here's an idea for a cool project - analyze the image and set a color on the caption that meets WCAG AA contrast ratios). It's just every time I see a some cool new css/js wizardry, the only way I can find out whether there's any accessibility compliance is to poke through the rendered markup, test out hover states, etc.
