[Irl-dean] Accessible CMSes

[Eoin Campbell]

We have evaluated both Terminal Four and pTools (another Irish CMS 
vendor) for different government clients,
and found that both are capable (with the appropriate configuration) of 
generating accessible
pages. However, without appropriate user training, it is also quite 
possible to generate
inaccessible pages with them.

The Open Source CMS Drupal is used by the NCBI for its relaunched 
website, and is accessible.
I believe Mambo and Joomla, two other popular Open Source CMSs, also 
claim to be
either accessible, or planning to become accessible.

Moodle, an Open Source Learning Management System, is also building in 
accessibility,
and these features are in versions 1.6 and 1.7, I think.
