Working on 34a Labs Accessibility Workshop for SharePoint

Hello All:

OK, What is 3aWs? 3aWS is a new open source project that I have started working on in my spare time. It deals with some basic requirements for Compliance while delivering the content via WSS v3, SharePoint 2007 and 2007 WCM Scenarios.

There are several main parts to the solution.

1. Extensions for MS AKS that is tested, extended and supportable in an Enterprise Environment :
  • XHTML/HTML Compliance
  • WEB Parts (OPEN Source)
  • Style Sheets
  • Master Page Handler
  • Compliance Handler


2. TTS Tools for Captioning and Transcription development as a Media Control or as an Open Source Desktop Application

3. Understanding Accessibility Updates covering WCAG 2.0 - Complete tutorial and Workshop for each potential error with guidance and more.

The complete kit will be built and tested on litware with a Litware Demo Image Install. More then just a set of tools it is hoped that this open source extension will be delivered and expanded on by the community. More information will be coming from the 34aLabs website. 34aLabs is being built as an open source repository for products and solutions initiated by Robert B. Yonaitis. http://34alabs.com/

Cheers
Rob
