Subject: Re: Drupal and Microsoft CMS Options?
Hi Gang: Jim, I don't know just yet. My preference would be to just
learn whatever Jamal is doing but I am now thinking of putting up
some sites for some blind folks so their sites are kept up to date
and work well with screen readers so I am not sure about the scope of
my involvement. It might be Drupal based or, more likely if really
accessible, something in the Microsoft venu since I am familiar with
their DB stuff and coding websites using various ASP Controls and
Server Side coding technicals. For development I might use one of the
packages Jacques or Katherine mentioned but I can start reading up on
them to get some color on what this stuff is all about.
Hay, Jacques, are you French? If so, are you from across the pond?
Later and thanks for the ideas to explore.

Look at both Umbraco and Mojo Portal.

Subject: Drupal and Microsoft CMS Options?
Hi: I know very little about CMS. As a result of Jamal using it, I
have looked at some of the Drupal docs by googling but am having
trouble wrapping my head around exactly how it all works since I am
an old Microsoft user. I am trying to figure out a similar option in
the Microsoft World. So far I think that Sharepoint and Open Office,
both 2010 versionws with accessibility, sound like they are the
Microsoft counterpart to Drupal. does this sound about right? Since
they support ARIA and the other new Web Standards, or at least some
articles say they do, has anyone tried them out? If there is another
Microsoft thingy where it looks or works sort of a CMS with DB
storage and perhaps Media support could you mention it so I can do a
little more digging?
It looks like allot of blind folks are trying to use various CMS
Websites and most of them are pretty bad. They also sound almost as
complex to create and maintain as a standard Website developed in
something like VWD. Anyway, thanks for any input you provide on CMS,
Drupal or any Microsoft counterpart products that I can research a
little more.
Again, the Microsoft 2010 versions of the Open Office and Sharepoint
are suppose to be accessible where the older versions were not very
accessible if that helps.
