The Underscore Archives

Hi [_]

Ive been a bit out of the loop recently (12 months - head in research
work, not practical stuff) ..and wondered if a few switched on people
from the wonders of underscore could give me a few pointers..

Its a possibility that I will be involved in the development of a
secondary school website, which they want to link in with an intranet
and a VLE..!!! not sure what I need to consider here....

could anyone run over key issues that might be needed to be considered
with this, for example:

[1] To what extent will a new school website need to meet the DDA and
SENDA acts? - 100% or less!?? - this I am unsure of ...

[2] What would be the best way for me to approach developing a
DDA/SENDA CERTIFIED website, will this still be through using BOBBY /
W3C and avoiding javascript? or not? any pointers on this?

[3] Does anyone have any experience of developing for schools? what
would be worth considering here?

[4] I was thinking that providing alternative colour schemes & or Font
increase options +  using a TEXT only script such as BETSY? (bbc -
text only viewer) ? might be good ?

I have no idea about developing an intranet, from what I gather they
want a way to access staff resources from home/at work, what might I
need to use here?

Does anyone know anything about SIMS VLE?, ive only used
BB,WEBCT,MOODLE? ....do they develop these to accessibility
standards...

The whole accessibility thing bothers me, i know hoe much it could
impact on development time, and thsi will be an issue with school
costs...how to deal with this....!?


Any help very much appreciated..?

Thanks underscore
