WAI support + How to get into Lenyas source code

[Lasse <si...@gmail.com>]

Hi list,

we, Robert Netzschwitz and Lars Windauer, are two "media" computer 
scientists of the TFH Berlin (University of Applied Sciences) in the 6th 
semester. Our goal is to build an open source teaching material 
managment system. In the last 2 month we came to the conclusion to 
enrich these functionalities to Lenya. We will work on this project for 
at least a 3/4 year, next to this we have another seminar (webpublishing 
with lenya) and it looks like this topic will be later the subject of 
our diploma, too. Ergo we´re quite motivated.. enough about us.

Perhapt someone can answer our question or give us a hint where to look:

- will Lenya 1.4 or susequent versions support Web Accessibility 
Initiative (WAI). We found one thread in the mailing list archive (Nov. 
2004(?)) that said that at least XHTML isn't valid, but other parts of 
Lenya allready conform to WAI?

- Has anyone a good tip or URL, how to start understanding the Lenya 
source code? We know this wiki, the mailing list, api and documentation 
but a tip where to start playing around to get deeper into Lenya would 
be nice. We found out how import Lenya into Eclipse but thats it so 
far.. We are quite experienced with Java and XML and it looks like this 
project will be later

Thanks a lot, regards

Lasse und Robert

you may want to look into http://burrokeet.org

ideally, you could combine that with lenya. would save you some time, i 
think. burrokeet is based on forrest and eclipse and conforms to IMS, afaik.

last i ran the default publication through cyntiasays, it passed. 
'supporting WAI' is a difficult target, as most of their recommendations 
are rather vague, but the ones that were easy to do have been done.

the usecase framework in 1.4 is a good start, as it ties everything 
together.
