> Making a portal accessible is a challenge. I can see four different levels/components for accessible portal (in a priority order):
> 1. Accessible important content for users
> The actual important content of the portal should be accessible. This means that we should provide accessible markup in a logical form for better understanding by the users (more: http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag.php). Navigation is an important aspect that needs to neither limit nor overload user. We define different level of navigation such as main, inter-portlet and intra-portlet. Another important aspect is a updated full sitemap.. (more: http://www.syros.aegean.gr/users/evlach/page ). 
> 2. Authoring tools that produces accessible content
> See graffito jira issue : (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GRFT-102)
> 3. Accessible authoring tools
> See http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/atag.php and http://www.syros.aegean.gr/users/evlach/page
> 4. Accessible portal administration
> Finally, as administrators are a limited number of users that a portal can have it is last but not least to have it accessible. Usually it is also more difficult as it has UIs for complex tasks.
