Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog : Accessibility and SharePoint 2010

See the full post for Office and SharePoint 2010 details including WCAG 2.0 and ARIA support

This is Tim McConnell, Program Manager on the SharePoint Foundation team. For the 2010 release, I’ve worked with SharePoint platform and partner teams to deliver powerful, reliable, accessible user experiences. Like Office, Office Web Applications, Windows, and teams across Microsoft, everyone in SharePoint strives to remove barriers that make software difficult to use. Sometimes improvements can be obvious, like the reorganized Ribbon user interface. However, some users may not notice changes that can transform another user’s experience. Accessible software respects the range of different users’ experiences, and it accommodates everyone.

Thanks for this, Peter. I'm working with the Committee on Disability Power and Pride -- we are using SharePoint but not to its full advantage obviously. Unless I am wrong, there are implications under the UN CRPD, too.
