[Accessibility_sig] Fw: forum software

[Jim Allan]

WebAIM has used PunBB for years. see punbb.org. I had a couple of
conversations with Jared about the accessibility...which he said was very
good. He only tweaked it a bit to make the interface a little cleaner, not
to change the accessibility.

though at this momement for me the site is not working...
