[Accessibility_sig] Accessible Web-based Collarborative Software

[Cyndi Chie]

John,

You may want to look at Wikis.  I believe that Tiki-Wiki might do 
want you want in an accessible manner.  They are open source, but 
they do have accessibility guidelines for developers.  They do not 
specifically police all the add-on modules, but I found the 
components I used (wiki, announcements and blogs) fairly 
accessible.  I did not get a chance to look at their calendar system, 
but I know they have one.  You can also set up groups and subgroups, 
allow for complete openness, open viewing and closed editing, or have 
it completely password protected.

They also have a person on the project who handles the accessibility 
side of things.  She was very responsive to me when we were setting 
things up and had questions about accessibility.

You can find out more about Tiki-Wiki at:  http://tikiwiki.org/

Hope this helps.

Cyndi
