make text on site Accessible
Increase the contrast of text vs. background to make the site accessible to those of us with vision problems. As we age, our vision naturally declines and viewing text on computer screens (light behind the text) make lighter text even paler and more difficult to read. With my migraines I have very blurry vision. The lighter text of the navigation, I can barely see.
VisionAustralia.com has a great testing tool for testing for webpage luminosity and contrast. I would expect that many of your users suffer from problems that effect their vision (including aging).

To anonymous -- There is software that will show web pages as a white-on-black, which may make it easier to read the text. I use google chrome with the Hacker Vision extension.

There are specific guidelines for website accessibility. Since many of the people who will be interested in this are people with all kinds of disabilities, it would be a good idea to bring the site into compliance with access standards.
