Oh gosh, Jamal, thanks!  These anti-Microsoft folks are killing me!  And
whoever called Mojo Portal "Mojo thing that no one has heard of" better
think again.  I'm a volunteer on the project, and I don't appreciate
people's work being insulted.  And besides, that CMS works on Linux despite
it's coding.

Hi Rick,
Here is the web site of an ASP.NET-based CMS:

DotNetNuke - The Leading Open Source Web Content Management Platform for
ASP.NET -

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.
