Hi,

I am looking for resources concerning accessibility of wikis for persons with disabilities and my searches have not yielded anything useful.

First, what are the major issues for accessibility of wikis ? Aside from wikis often being a free-for-all so that it is hard to control the content and how the content is structured as well as the use of "pseudo-code" which may not validate or be recognized by assistive tech, are there other issues to be aware of that are specific to wikis ?

Second, what wikis are considered the most accessible ? I have heard good things about tikiwiki (http://tikiwiki.org/) but am unfamiliar with it and can not find specific information on their site concerning accessibility features.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,


Catherine
