Hi, Rick, SharePoint 2010 is what we have at work. I personally don't care for it. Workflow colaboration in there is just painful right now. Browsing content is pretty accessible but creating it is still a bit hairy. I have to write my stuff in raw html so that it works propperly whenever I have to add content to my department's website. also uploading html content you created is a bit difficult. You pretty much have to use it in conjunction with SharePoint Designer because if you write your stuff by hand and it includes multiple files and things, you have to put it up through the My Network Places directory in windows instead of directuly in the site. some of the navigation is now more Haccessible but there's something of a learning curve. I'd stay away from it unless you just have to use it, honestly. Have you looked into Alfresco? http://www.alfresco.com/ Not bashing Microsoft but lately, a lot of their stuff just has been accessible on paper but not in fact. this is for many reasons but the biggest one in my opinion is that they are changing the rules of the game with UIA and there doesn't seem to be much work between them and the assistive technology vendors for windows screen readers so that everyone is on the same page. Everything really started going downhill with them with the introduction of the ribbon interface and has just kept getting worse though, perhaps, now that screen readers are finally starting to catch up with UIA, things are going to improve soon. wish they'd do it with free patches to their products though. My sma with Jaws is coming up and if I renew, it will be grudgingly and only out of sheer necessity this time. the place where a lot of exciting things related to accessibility seem to be happening right now seems to be Linux. I've managed to just about double ifnot tripple the number of accessible applications of all sorts which I have access to ever since I put vinux on a virtual machine and started running it alongside windows. Once gnome 3 comes out and they do all that work with at-spi and the work with the QT bridge, a whole bunch of previously inaccessible stuff is going to be accessible over there which will be just awesome!

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.
