Sharepoint and accessibility - two problems first what do you have to do ? and second how are you going to do it- well it depends who you ask:

as can be seen from this very clear article http://www.21apps.com/sharepoint/sharepoint-accessibility-is-moss-2007-accessible/ its a slightly mixed up picture.

But here is a check list for the various standards that one might hope to adopt http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WAI-WEBCONTENT-19990324/full-checklist.html

so can it be done?

well microsoft have a whole site dedicated to the proposition that you can http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/default.aspx

if you want something a bit more graspable have a look at this word document giving some best practice about the subject http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121877

The Microsoft/AKS accessibility standard lives here http://aks.hisoftware.com/index.html

My fear with some of this stuff is that it is really important one adopt A STRICT attitude toward editing pages. i.e. enforced change management, though notice that neither of the sites at the top use the STRICT tag in their XHTML - this is fine for public sites. Big intranets intranets are easily messed up by the keen user with a copy of SharePoint Designer - what is a fellow to do?
