Hi listers

Does anyone have experience using ATAG to evaluate CMS or other
software that creates/publishes material on the web?
Is there any evaluator, similar to WCAG evaluators, in the works, or
even possible that relies on ATAG?
I freely admit I do not know enough about ATAG yet, but I am reading
my way through the ATAG 2.0 draft, and I would be very curious to, for
instance, evaluate things like Facebook and Twitter using ATAG
specifications.
Be well
-B

Hi Birkir,

I'm on the W3C working group (AUWG) that is developing ATAG 2.0.

As we have been developing the document, we have done some implementation testing, including with CMS systems:

And while Facebook does not appear in that table, we do include it in our discussions.

Cheers,
Jan
