Accessibility

hello there

i'm a starter a drupal, and i'm getting used to it.

i got a question..
that is there any wysiwyg editors exist, that screen readers could work with them?
from my understanding, a wysiwyg editor is something that an user can easily use the mouse to drag and drop objects, make headings/lists, and the html code of it will pop out.

i have no experience with html, and i don't know how much hard it is.. or do i even have the time to learn it.

i have googled some.. and just found xStandard that could be accessible, but it seems that it is for drupal 6 only.

hello there

i'm interested to build a website for the blind pilots using microsoft fs simulator.

and i've heard that drupal is verry accessible, and i might want to try it.

i need help about where to start, which drupal i get (i cannot find drupal 8 nowhere) and modules or themes that can help me.

i have my hosting account ready.

so any helps would be appreciated!
thanks

I am sighted and until recently I would never use Mollom or captcha since I personally could not understand the audio. Recently I decided to implement captcha on our Drupal registration form and asked our staff to test and received the feedback below. I personally think that an instruction to just enter the first letter of each word could be added - (I was confused).

In Administration> Structure > Content types > Basic page > manage fields, There is a table containing the fields and a "drag to re-order" link for each column.

I'm a screen reader user, so I can't use this drag function. Is there any way to use this "drag to re-order" function via the keyboard? Or do we really need to use the mouse?

Thanks.

Many thanks to people for their work on accessibility!

Could someone point to instructions about how to implement the more accessible version of Accordion? Does it work with Drupal jQuery, or does it replace that as well as the Accordion script itself? Or do we just add this as a jQuery script in our jQuery Libraries folder?

And, though it's perhaps off topic, is what's true for Accordion also true for Views Slideshow script? Can it be implemented in a way that is more accessible for aural readers? And Calendar Popup?

Good evening,
I started developing an accessible template for Drupal which I called "Visioni".

The work in progress is at the address

http://visioni.4elementi.info

the compressed file of the template at the address

I an not new to Web Accessibility: I released an accessible template for Wordpress, one for Joomla 1.5 and one for PhpBB.

I would be enormously glad to keep on developing it with this community.

How many aspects of Drupal conform with the W3C's Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG 2.0)?

If we can write each of those aspects up, we can help the Authoring Tool Accessibility Working Group (AUWG) of the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative improve two important documents.

And while we're doing that, we can make it easier for Drupal themers and developers to understand what they can do—or, in some cases, must do—to ensure that Drupal remains accessible and continues to help people who use it create websites that are themselves accessible.

This post is not yet complete. Check back in a few hours. Or perhaps even tomorrow.
