RE: Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server

Microsoft has also contracted with HighSoft to create an accessibility
toolkit for MOSS 2007. It is supposed to enhance the accessibility and
make the forms generated more accessible. 

Below is a description of the accessibility toolkit:

SharePoint Server 2007 has announced the Accessibility Toolkit for
SharePoint 1.0, better known as the AKS Solution. 

Microsoft partnered with accessibility technology vendor HiSoftware to
build the toolokit. It provides files, programs and utilities that
enable SharePoint Server (MOSS) and SharePoint Services (WSS) sites to
follow the accessibility guidelines put forth by the W3C (WCAG 1.0 AA). 

The AKS Solution can also be used to address exceptions that have been
identified in the Section 508 of the US Gov's Rehabilitation Act
Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) documents for MOSS 2007.

The kit provides the following:

New cascading style sheets 
New master pages 
Multiple control adapters 
Reusable content examples 

The AKS Solution does not provide a process to update/modify custom
templates, stylesheets or controls. What it does provide is a set of
guidelines and an approach to update these custom files. Essentially
it's something that can be used to help define requirements for new
sites.

Hi Robbie,
I don't want to make a blanket statement here, but from what I have
heard,
if it's version 2007, there's a better chance of accessibility than with
2003.
Go here. I found this on Google. This is a very long URL, so you might
have
to put it together in pieces in your browser.

Hello Listers,
can anyone on the list tell me if Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server is
accessible?
I'm asking because of a possible employment situation.
Thanks much for any feedback.
Robbie
