Resources
Drupal & Accessibility
I found the following three main places on drupal.org with documentation on accessibility:
- Theming Guide > Tools, best practices and conventions > Accessibility
Very thorough, contains sections on - Getting Started > Accessibility and Drupal
General information and lots of links to further resources. - Drupal core improvements > Accessibility
Mainly a list of links to accessibility related issues.
