I'm investigating CMS's at the moment, specifically ones that adhere
to accessibility standards and guidelines.
Any one out there know of any good ones? Ones to avoid?
Thanks.

Rosie, et al.
This was my question a few months ago. The general consensus of the group
here - I think - was "no" and that's because even the best CMS can be made
to render inaccessible web pages.
I am still searching and recently found Jim Byrne's site which Karl just
pointed out to you. Jim markets this as an accessible CMS system and it look
like a very nice product. But the caution that was expressed before still
stands. Without some knowledge and understanding of accessibility issues,
one could still create an inaccessible website.
I will probably give QnECMS a whirl. But I am still cautious.
Others was to weigh in?

Too true. We're using a CMS that is SENDA compliant; but no-one seems
to realise that the staff using it can (and are!) creating inaccessible
pages :-(

Have you tried out Plone? http://www.plone.org
While it's true that any cms can be made inaccessible, I've always
thought the thing to look for is a system that gets out of your way so
it's easy to create an accessible site.
