Hello,

I am looking at a wiki for a municipal government website. It is important for content creators (especially in public positions) to take a little time and extra effort to create websites that can be used by people with vision problems or blindness.

I'd like box on this website that tells if the wiki software has features that help in creating web content that makes it easy to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. I would like for a wiki that atleast allows the creator to create content that helps meet the Priority 1 of these Guidelines where it makes sense. One example is providing 'alt' tags for descriptions of pictures or captions of the pictures (checkpoing 1.1).

Priorties Section 4. of WCAG
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/#priorities

In the US we have similar Federal guidelines known as Section 508, which I really don't know much about.

Another big feature concerning Accessibility is if the website separates content and design. So, providing a Cascading Style Sheet that separates the design from the XHTML page. A table based web design is generally not considered accessible because it can confuse screen readers about what content is should read first.

I appologize if this post is as clear as mud. I don't think I've clearly explained my needs in my particular application of wikis. At any rate, this is a complicated issue that is not as easy as saying if a wiki supports Emoticons.

Best,
Micah
