Are there any available based on PHP? I have been looking at various Open Source web logging and CMS solutions with respect to accessibility. Python-based systems are out as far as I'm concerned as I have neither the time nor inclination to learn yet another programming language. As yet, I haven't found anything that I really like "out of the box" but, as time allows, I am playing around with Drupal[1] and think that this only needs minor tweaks. Drupal is the only CMS with which I have been at all happy. Had I the time, or if a client had a requirement, I would be inclined to write something myself. >From my experience with Wordpress - and I think that this would apply to "normal" CMS as well - apart from a few patches that I have written[2], the biggest hinderance to accessibility has been in the themes/templates rather than the base code. This is something that can be addressed without having to pull the programme apart. Please note - my evaluation has purely been on the public side, NOT accessibility of the authoring tool.
