well, here is a suggestion from one of the blind users of Linux who does a lot of web authoring.. Der Hands, you got this one? -eric from the central office of the Technomage Huild, Datasphere projects office Begin forwarded message: > From: Linux for blind general discussion > Subject: Re: Fwd: accessible web-authoring system > Date: April 29, 2017 4:20:51 AM MST > To: blinux-list@redhat.com > Reply-To: blinux-list@redhat.com > > Tony Baechler here. I'm sure others will chime in, but here are my thoughts: > > 1. The most accessible is plain, static HTML. Obviously not practical for large sites, but for a few pages, it's good enough. > > 2. WordPress is the most popular. It's generally very accessible. There are things which could be made better, but it's good enough to design decent sites. I ran a podcast with it. > > 3. Drupal is also very good, but the latest major release (8.0.X) is very difficult to use and far from accessible unless I missed something obvious. I had it running on a server and it was so bad that I gave up. 7.X should be better, but will reach end of life in a year or two and only gets bug and security fixes. > > Joomla is very inaccessible and should absolutely be avoided. I couldn't do anything with it, but that was a long time ago. The key is if the admin interface is accessible or not. I would go with WordPress due to the huge number of themes, frequent updates and overall decent accessibility. > > Another option is wiki software. There are a lot of wiki packages out there. I liked ikiwiki when I looked at it. It obviously depends on the site you're designing. Of the above, I think only ikiwiki is fully accessible with a text browser, but WordPress is tolerable. You can do most functions with wp-cli if you like the command line. Drupal has drush, but I couldn't get it to work. WordPress is much easier to upgrade and can do minor updates itself. > > On 4/28/2017 3:43 PM, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: >> hey guys, >> I forwarded this over from the Phoenix Linux Users Group.
