Hi
Well, to claify, we are using Zope as our CMS, and are customising this system's (XHTML) output to conform to WCAG, although it remains to be seen how much we can make it compliant.
This will ensure the actual interface is compliant, but the issue we are considering are the actual documents that will be uploaded by staff users. The whole idea of our CMS is to give departments / non-technical staff the ability to upload and manage documents.
Documents are mostly created in Word, although we are considering asking departments to convert these to PDF before uploading, which may be more accessible due to features in the acrobat reader interface and support by Jaws.
The consensus from people who replied to me was that HTML is the best option, it's just that there are technical skills needed for users to do this, otherwise we are reverting back to a situation where the control over document uploads/ management is out of the hands of staff.
Maybe a wiki is the solution, which can be done in zope?
Thanks for the responses.
