Remember to use whatever influence you have to insist that the CMS
itself be accessible technology, as well as producing accessible
output.
Otherwise, any new hires with special needs will be unable to complete
their jobs without requiring repurchase of new software.
The big problem with CMSes is not just the output, it's the interface
to create and modify content.
Has anyone on this list worked with Microsoft CMS Server? E.g., with
a screenreader or other AT?
