color:#1F497D'>MediaWiki is on the whole very accessible for screen reader
users, as long as the pages are laid out sensibly (i.e. with headings
separating each section). The biggest problem I can think of is the position of
the section edit buttons; since they're placed before the section title in the
HTML, a screen reader will read a section as "edit
<sectionname>". I have a script in my monobook.js file, which moves
them to a better location for screen readers, which you can copy to your
Monobook.js file for all users. If you need to turn CAPTCHAs on for account
creation, make sure they're accessible to all users. Reading diffs can be
tricky for screen reader users; I've found that the best way for me to read a
complex diff is to go into the HTML source code and search for class names like
"diffchange". Apart from that, I can't think of anything else. I've
been using Wikipedia for quite a while now so it's second-nature to me, so I
could have missed some things. Also, I only have experience with using JAWS for
Windows with MediaWiki, so I'm not sure how well other screen readers would
handle it.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

this out before having done so. There are 14 tests for assessing the

documentation for people developing the software, and documentation for people
using the software. It could be in the same place, or in different places as
the two groups will have quite different requirements. Googlecode happened to
have a convenient wiki which is what Pat has started to use today. Sourceforge
have also just approved my project request, so now is a good time for us to
decide google code or sourceforge once and for all. I might set up a project on
soirceforge anyway adn then we can vote or something. You can see the
google code pages already. I like the simplicity a lot - it fits well with our
FWS design principles for the software itself.</span><span style='font-size:
