I don't know about exactly how they've taken accessibility into account on iMP - maybe take the question to the message board posted here earlier? I'll ask Priya on your behalf if I see her around, though. I can't imagine for a second it's been ignored, but I suppose there's a possibility that they haven't completed all the work on it in the beta?
Here's some official-ly stuff about what we do: Re accessibility in general, we do have best practice in place: http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/bbc/standards.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/newmedia/accessibility/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/ We also work with AbilityNet on accessibility; they also run *amazing* training courses for us, which all producers and coders in our department went to; it's humbling watching someone surf your site with a screenreader, certainly. http://www.abilitynet.org.uk/ >From my point of view - accessibility is always something I take in to account; it makes sites/products more accessible to *everyone*, not just those who use alternative access methods. Great believer in common sense, me... k -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan Chetwynd Sent: 05 November 2005 08:58 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: [backstage] iMP: accessibility, is the smell really that bad? iMP: accessibility, is the smell really that bad? Does anyone have links to positive reports on the accessibility of iMP? According to: http://cms.elfden.co.uk/2005/10/18/bbc-imp-trial-part-1/ "Accessibility wise it stinks. No keyboard access what so ever....." Who is responsible for accessibility at iMP and which groups representing people with disabilities were invited to comment? Could this be an integral part of the BBC's regular best practice? cheers!
