Hello,

I just starting to really dig into Plone and Accessibility and have been
wondering about the best way to insure that all users are able to contribute and
use the site. I am dealing with a wide range of standards / formats that allow
user with special requirments to access the system. Some of them are quite
obscure (for example the (TEN) Standard -> http://www.headstar.com/ten/) and I
am wondering if I should concentrate on Marshalling.

Of course our sited users loved kupu but I unistalled it so that the chair
person, who is blind, can review and edit documents using Structured Text (which
I can not find a wysiwig editor for for sighted users.

Do you think I would be better of focusing on working on marshalling? I am
looking for a little magic that would allow everyone to access the same
information (an allow them all to edit, review etc.) in the ways that works for
them. Is this possible or should I stay focused on keeping everything in text
and/or Structured Text.

Any commnents are welcomed as well as any products you know of that would work
out of the box or with modifications.
