 * Hi
 * I’ve been having a look at the page on the codex about making your website/blog
   accessible. I was wondering if the dashboard on wordpress has been accessibility
   tested, and if not, were there plans to do so in the future?
 * Thanks

 * They did fairly major backend-user-interface testing, polling, and managed improvements
   for WP 2.7. I’m pretty sure accessibility was one of their criteria but didn’t
   seem to be the #1 guiding principle. See
    [http://wordpress.org/development/category/ui/](http://wordpress.org/development/category/ui/)
 * Do you find the Dashboard to be less than accessible? What flavors of accessibility
   are you looking for?
 * Some things can be accomplished with plugins, or Admin color schemes. For example
   if you need higher contrast or larger fonts.

 * Basically I’m setting up WP to act as a kind of CMS and it need to be used by
   people who use screenreaders and the like. I’m fine myself, as I don’t have any
   issues. I know someone who is a fair expert on making accessible sites so I might
   get her to cast her eye over it to see how it shapes up (and report any comments
   back here)
 * I’ll take a look at that link, thank you!
