I didn't find much discussion of Accessibility, but I did notice some claims about it in this Accessibility node.

There are claims about Section 508 and WCAG compliance, but these cannot be fully correct. Full compliance depends not just on the CM that you are using, it also depends on the way the content is created. For example, is the language simple?

I have just installed a Drupal 5 site for our Scout Group and have come across a couple of things I'd like to fix. Being new to Drupal I don't know where to start:

Can I get a 'skip to main content' at the front of the page that links directly to the main area of the page (normally an

)?
Can I get something other than 'more' or 'read more' for links? Each link needs to be unique if it points to different content.

Just been checking my site for accessibility. There are a few specific problems with WCAG 1.0 compliance. One that might be easily fixed is that for anonymous user using the contact form the id= for user and submit are the same on the form as on on the logon fields.

I've just tried validating the page on the main site which claims accessability and it doesn't validate!

Is this just an issue with this site or is it a general problem with the package as a whole? I'm planning to download and evaluate it but if someone can comment on this it may save me some time.

Do a view source on drupal.org

<!-- Note: does not validate. We would like it to, but that would mean reduced user experience for the majority of our visitors. -->

It is also mentioned : http://drupal.org/node/27367

Depending on your theme, content and contributed modules you use, you can build a site that will pass those tests.
