how close would you say sakai is to 'section 508 compliance'? i know
we're more accessible today than we were yesterday, and tomorrow will
be better yet, but do we have any way to quantify how close we are?

i've seen references on-list to section 508 but nothing definitive...

Will,

Mike Elledge and a group of dedicated volunteers have done a great job of outlining that info here.

http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/2ACC/Home

and here:

http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/2ACC/Sakai%27s+Current+Accessibility

VPAT, WCAG and Section 508 compliance checklists are off the latter page.

Hope that helps.


Hannah
