About this Group
As this beautiful piece of software seems destined to greet the markets at the end of March 2008 there is certainly a lot of excitement.
However all developers face a stark new reality of imperative accessible design and development. With section 508 in the US and similar legislation in other developed countries as well as the WCAG for international sites; Magento certainly has to take all the guidelines into the actual structure of the build.
This group's purpose therefore is to identify any weaknesses vis a vis accessibility that Magento may have at its core.
A secondary purpose is also to maybe highlight techniques to keep in mind while customizing Magento therefore there is scope here for web developers and the developers at Varien as well.
Hope to see you on what is probably the hottest topic in web development and design these days
