Some people call it "508 Accessibility" for short, based on Section 508 of the United States Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Because this is where it all started. Here's some links: http://tap.orst.edu/508brief.htm http://www.section508.gov/ http://www.jimthatcher.com/webcourse1.htm http://www.webaim.org/standards/508/checklist U.S. government and educational institutions have started cracking the whip recently to comply with these 508 accessibility standards on the web. As with other posters, I agree Zope has no problems here. The resulting HTML (whether it adheres to 508 rules or not) is completely up to the individual coder, and not so much with Zope. It would be interesting however, to see a breakdown of how well the current list of 669 Zope products complies with Section 508 Web Accessibility standards. Anybody have such a list? Bryan

Is the HTML/DHTML that zope generates WAI complient? If not how mcuh work would it take to make it so? I've looked all over the web for this and there doesn't seem to be any info.
BACKGROUND DO NOT NEED TO READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT The company I'm working for have a contract with a government agency so the code has to be WAI complient the contest so far is between SharePoint, Lotus Notes and Zope. Lotus Notes is hopeless at WAI Complience and SharePoint has no info on the subject.
