 Description   

The current samples do not show that Magnolia could generate web sites that are "accessible" - e.g. see http://www.w3.org/WAI/gettingstarted/

Also, they should be valid xhtml in the sense of http://www.validome.org/

These samples could be in addition to existing samples

Accessibility compliance (and section 508) is mandated by a number of large institutions and agencies. It is important that magnolia meet accessibility standards.

Comment by Boris Kraft [ 28/Oct/04 ]

Its really a question of the templates. We can lead by example, but we cannot guarantee that people out there don't write templates that don't have accessability in mind.

validation checked

accessibility more or less (alt for images, layout (text comes first)
